Landon has been the ideal learning environment for our son, one where he has been able to grow and thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. In our experience, the school has been exceptionally thoughtful in its approach to teaching and learning and is truly a wonderful community. Our son, now a junior, has felt completely at home since starting in seventh grade and has cultivated relationships over the years with not just his peers, but with his teachers, coaches, and administrators. He is truly known and cared for and has had the opportunity to cultivate his interests and strengths. We feel that he is truly being prepared holistically for college and beyond.

Our son has been a Landon Bear since Lower School and is now an Upper School Bear! We have always been thrilled with the community, the academics, the opportunities available to the young men, and the leadership throughout each division. Landon is not simply a school. Landon is a place where a young man grows into his best self, develops excellent character habits, a sense of social/community responsibility & a code of ethics that follows him for life. These young men do not only develop academically, but they gain brothers. The best decision we ever made for our son was to attend Landon.
