Landon School is a fantastic place for boys who thrive on academic challenge and love sports. The curriculum is rigorous, pushing students to think critically and work hard, but the teachers are incredibly supportive and invested in their success across all disciplines as both teachers and coaches. Small class sizes mean lots of personal attention, and the school does a great job preparing boys for top colleges.

I am currently a senior, and came to Landon my freshman year. I have enjoyed my experience at Landon, to say the least. I am glad I chose to go to Landon and would not choose any other way if I had to do it over again. Landon has prepared me for college, and has helped me to grow into a great young man.

I love going to Landon. It is a rigorously challenging school that does a great job at balancing academics, athletics, and extracurriculars. The brotherhood at Landon is like no other. Landon is a second home, and have made friends with guys I will know my entire life. Go Bears

You'll be surprised that this is a review from a Landon alum who graduated on 1981. What can a now 61 yr old man have to say about a school he attended so long as go? Landon has always been a place where the word THRIVE has a place. I attended Landon for only 3 yesrs, but during that time I was able...

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...

Landon has reviews which state attendance destroyed their son. That is not typical of any school and it is also our family's experience. Landon does not have an anti-bullying policy. A code of conduct is not enough. It does not allow for anonymous reporting of bullying or systematic procedures to su...
