Boys thrive at Landon because every aspect of our program is designed intentionally for them.

We introduce academic challenge in ways that reflect how boys learn best. From a schedule that encourages movement and offers breathing room to enhance cognitive development, to faculty versed in the most proven teaching styles for boys, to 75 acres of green fields, studios, labs, and fresh air, the difference is palpable – and represents what serves boys best.
