A Day in the Life

Every aspect of a Landon education places boys at the center.

One look at the activity on campus illustrates our top priority: to create an experience that spurs growth for boys in all areas.

Our teachers introduce academic challenge in ways that harness boys’ natural energy and curiosity as an asset to their learning. From a schedule that encourages movement and offers breathing room to enhance cognitive development to 75 acres of green fields, studios, labs, and fresh air, the difference is palpable—and represents exactly what boys need to thrive.

Lower School

Arrival

Students arrive starting at 8:15 a.m. and are greeted by a friendly face, a high five, and a warm “good morning,” most often from a Teacher-Coach-Mentor, but sometimes from an Upper School student leader.

Landon’s Lower School schedule maximizes students’ most attentive time periods, including language arts and math in the mornings, and quiet reading time before dismissal at the end of the day.

Athletics and Arts

Sports and arts are pillars of the Lower School day, with boys rehearsing a song for a school assembly before dashing off to the soccer field for an intramural match. Shrimp Bowl and Landon Cup are two longtime Lower School athletic traditions—visit our Traditions page to learn more!

Middle School

Arrival and Advisory

Each day begins at 8 a.m. with advisory. With only 10-12 students in each advisory, boys can build strong connections with their peers and with their advisors through consistent touchpoints.

Landon’s developmentally appropriate, rotating daily schedule maximizes students’ most attentive time periods. There are also multiple movement breaks during the day so boys can feel refreshed and ready to refocus on learning.

Block Schedule

Students select their courses with support from their advisor, and engage in a rotating schedule that includes English, history, math, science, world language, arts, and more. Students experience their classes at different times during the week, allowing them to bring their best to each course. Visit our Grades 9-12 Academics page to learn more about our offerings.
