Signature Experiences + Core Values
Dedicated to Boys
We know boys will rise to the expectations set for them, and that is why our Code of Character is at the core of what we do every day. Our holistic approach immerses boys in activities that support their overall wellness and instill an appreciation for their peers’ and their own abilities.
Ethics, Service & Leadership
Students realize that their views and ideas matter, that their words can lift others, and that their actions, guided by respect, empathy, inclusivity, and civility, can effect positive change.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Students develop the skills, knowledge, and attitudes needed to value differences, encouraging both speaking and acting with integrity and compassion as well as an informed and respectful worldview.
Health, Wellness & Fitness
We know that healthy and happy boys learn better. That’s why we don’t compromise on anything that will foster boys’ mental, social, emotional, and physical well-being.
Build for the Future
The Campaign for Landon
Landon has embarked on a $50 million capital campaign and a historic transformation of all of our learning spaces – all designed for boys to thrive.
Transform Learning Spaces
The plan includes the construction of a new Upper School building, as well as renovated Middle and Lower School spaces to establish a beacon of learning on the highest point of our 75 acres. This updated academic quad will support a cohesive Landon experience for all of our students.
#OneLandon
How We Achieve
Our boys are scholars and servant-leaders, thinkers and creators, who become men of character and commitment ready for college and life beyond.
