Are the kids pretty welcoming and inclusive to new kids in the middle school?

I went to their Handbells concert last night and that could not be further from the truth. Do you honestly think every boy in Landon plays a sport? Stop with your outside generalization.

Take it from a parent with two boys that went thru Landon. As they get older, it becomes harder. Sorry, but a fact.

Would one sport be enough?

You don't need to excel to be accepted, though that can help (at Landon and other schools). The school wants to have enough boys to field its various teams and clubs, so it wants to see boys who will be likely to participate in sports and theater and music and other ECs that are offered at the school. E.g., the fact that your son is a world-class rock-climber or kayaker will be interesting but I can't see it helping much except in the "does the kid have passion" question.

Our letter came in the mail last year. DS was admitted and we can't say enough good things about the school. The Headmaster in particular is a class act.

My son turned down his offer from Landon (for STA) and a little part of me is still sad about it. Such a great school. Great admissions experience. Beautiful campus. This is was a couple of years ago. GL to you all.

We have one DS at STA and one at Landon. Both boys are happy, but I have to say I think Landon does an overall better job of educating the boys.

PP, those are the 2 schools to which DS applied. How is Landon better at educating?

Landon offers support. Sta does not.
