Designed for Boys

You are known.

Relationships are foundational at Landon, which is why a Landon boy’s art teacher, tennis coach, and advisor may very well be the same person. 

In fact, Landon teachers, like Dori Boyce, are required to coach and mentor students because we believe the connections they form with students in these roles allow faculty to educate every boy more effectively. (Dori serves as an academic dean, teaches art, and coaches tennis!)

As teachers and students see each other in different lights, they develop a common language and experience that can be leveraged to the boys’ benefit. You can see how this plays out in the classroom and all over campus.

Relationships are at the very core of our community at Landon. As teacher-coach-mentors, we learn what makes our students tick and where they need support. This approach allows us to challenge the boys to reach their potential in the classroom, on the stage, and on the fields. - will mcgettigan, Upper School History teacher and head varsity lacrosse coach

This work is supported by round table discussions, school assemblies, and events based on cultural celebrations.

They include Lunar New Year, and schoolwide events to honor Black History Month, Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and Hispanic Heritage Month.  Students are at the center of this work, as they share their own stories and are presenters at these events. 

 Landon helped me shape my worldview. I was able to tap into so many parts of what inform my identity. I could be a football player, an a capella singer, and a newspaper writer. That is the Landon man, a man of honor and a culturally aware and active global citizen.
