Three Schools for the Learning Disabled (2/2)

"Serving intelligent students with learning differences" is the slogan of the Shelton School in Texas. Its Web site says the school has about eight hundred fifty students in all twelve grades, and one teacher for every six students.

The Shelton School also says its goal is to prepare students to return to regular classes, although some do finish high school there. The Web site says Shelton graduated forty-four students in two thousand six. And it says they received acceptances from a total of seventy-seven colleges and universities.

Landmark College in Vermont is a college for students with learning difficulties. It offers a two-year program that prepares students to continue their studies at a four-year school.

Each student has an adviser and an individual learning program. Landmark has international students this year from South America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa.

All three schools offer financial aid. Hillside costs about seventeen thousand dollars a year. Shelton costs between ten and twenty-one thousand, depending on the grade level. Shelton and Hillside students live at home. Landmark College costs about fifty thousand dollars a year, which includes housing.

“为不同学习特质和智力（水平）的学生服务”这是堪萨斯州谢尔顿学校的口号。学校主页上称12个年级拥有850名学生，平均每6人配备一名老师。

谢尔顿学校还称虽然一些学生在这里一直待到完成高中学业，但他们的目标还是旨于为学生们返回到普通课堂做准备。学校网站报道2006年共毕业学生44名，他们一共收到了来自工77所大专院所的录取通知。

佛蒙特州的地标学院是一所为有学习障碍学生们服务的学院。它为这些准备继续在4年制学习的学生提供了一个为期两年的课程。

每个学生有一个指导老师和个人学习计划。今年的地标学院还有来自南美、欧洲、亚洲、中东和非洲的国际学生。

上述这3所学校都提供财务帮助。希尔山学校一年花费17，000美元。谢尔顿根据年级等级一年支出大约在10，000-21，000美金之间，希尔山和谢尔顿的学生都是住在家里的走读生，地标学院提供住宿一年大概花费50，000美金
