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. In addition to daily athletics, study halls, teacher office hours, and dedicated time with advisors, an age-appropriate schedule provide the breaks boys need to be rejuvenated and engage fully in their learning.

Athletics are a requirement for all three seasons. For some, that means the opportunity to compete at the highest level. For others, this focus on fitness means daily exercise in our strength and conditioning program or participation in club or intramural sports.

Consulting Counselor Phyllis Fagell headshot

Landon's consulting counselor, psychotherapist and author Phyllis Fagell, is a respected expert in adolescent mental health and well-being. She is the author of two books, “Middle School Matters” and “Middle School Superpowers.”

When asked what her message would be for parents who are raising boys, Phyllis shared:

Boys of any age can feel a lot of pressure to appear stoic and uncaring, which can interfere with their desire to have meaningful, genuine, close relationships with friends. I think the best thing we can do for our boys is honor them for who they are, dispel stereotypes, help them label their emotions so they can find the right solution to a problem, and make it safe for them to express vulnerability and ask for help. 

Boys are supported by specialists across campus
