Welcome from the Director of Admissions


CHOOSING THE RIGHT SCHOOL is an important decision, so it’s wise to take the time to investigate your educational options, then decide as a family what the best fit is for you. We’d be happy to help you understand Landon’s unique benefits as a non-sectarian boys school that encourages each boy to develop as a scholar, athlete, artist and citizen.

Because we specialize in educating boys, and have for almost 80 years, our faculty understand just how boys learn and grow. Our teachers know that growing boys need an environment that values their high energy and exuberance and plays to their strengths. That appreciation helps them create a comprehensive and rigorous academic program to challenge and support each boy at every stage in his educational life.

Whether through academics, the arts, athletics or community service, Landon teachers truly know and understand their students. This bond between students and teachers is at the heart of a Landon education. Each teacher-coach-mentor sees boys in every facet of school life, and finds teachable moments in the least expected places.

Character education is paramount to the Landon experience, more important than any other teaching that we do, as we guide boys in the development of the personal integrity and leadership skills they will rely on throughout their lives. Each Landon student is expected to strive for a level of personal performance he can be proud of and to take primary responsibility for his own actions.

When you choose Landon, you will be joining a welcoming and supportive community. As a nonsectarian school, we welcome a diverse faculty and student body who mirror the world around us. As a boys school, we are building friendships that will last a lifetime.

Come and see for yourselves. Let us show you our beautiful 75-acre campus and introduce you to our students, our faculty and our program. Please contact us at 301-320-1067 to schedule an appointment.

Sincerely,

George Mulligan
Director of Admissions
