College Success

How Prepared Are Students?

Landon graduates head to college with an invaluable body of knowledge and experiences.

More remarkable and impactful, however, are the skills each boy possesses and uses as soon as he steps foot on a college campus: the abilities to think, question, solve, create, and articulate. Landon boys attend top colleges and universities, and they arrive ready to lead.
