College Counseling

Landon wants every boy to attend the college that will fulfill his academic potential and match his personal aspirations.

Because our college counselors work closely with each student, they can guide him through the college admissions process and ensure he chooses the college that will serve him best.

Our counselors know the process inside and out

Co-Director of College Counseling, Deborah Basket, brings decades of experience as a college admissions counselor to guide Landon students through the nuances of the college application process. Here, she explains how she helps students focus on what colleges are looking for from applicants.

From weekly virtual office hours and annual college nights, to lectures from experts and workshops with college admission officers, Landon's college counseling event series complements the individualized attention counselors provide to students and their families throughout their time in the Upper School.
