Middle School
In the Landon Middle School, 210 boys in Grades 6 through 8 find joy in both work and play.
Our rigorous program exposes boys to a wide array of disciplines, focuses on analytical thinking and problem solving, helps boys develop time-management and organizational skills, and fosters independence by encouraging the boys to take responsibility for their actions. This rigor falls within a supportive community, one centered around an ethic of care in which boys are encouraged to take risks and learn from their setbacks. Each year the Middle School adopts a theme, and for 2010-11 is , that theme is Respect.
In the Middle School, we place great value on the relationship between teacher and student. These relationships develop in the classroom, around a lunch table, in advisory, on stage, and on the athletic fields. During these three years, boys make a plethora of decisions — about who they are, what they care about, and the type of lives they will ultimately lead. Our teachers truly understand the quirks of adolescent boys and are committed to guiding boys through this period of rapid change so that each may reach his fullest potential.
As a community, we value honor, perseverance, teamwork and fair play. In an atmosphere of trust and mutual respect, students work hard, develop strong bonds with teachers and fellow classmates, and have fun.
