[quote=Anonymous]Landon in Freshman Year only has honors classes in Math, Science, Spanish, French and Latin. You need to be recommended for honors classes.

There is a freshman soccer team. Freshman can try out for jv but only a few kids make it every year.

The biggest difference is that Landon has a student teacher coach model. Many of Landon's Upper School teachers also coach.The Varsity Soccer Coach teaches AP History. The Upper School Track Coach is the 9th & 10 wth grade dean. This gives the kids and the teachers a very different way to interact. The teachers really know the whole kid, not just as a student.

As far as diversity, there is a range of kids. it is non denominational so there is no religious aspect of inclusion or exclusion.

Landon does have an ambassador program where each new student is assigned a student and family in their class to help them navigate the school and become familiar with kids int he class. Numerous events are planned bet. June and Sept to help integrate new students.

As far as the Holton connection, there is a fall event for 9th graders planned with Holton as well as joint community service activities for all grade. There are mixers with Holton as well as other schools that the boys are invited to. Many boys have sisters who go to Landon so many of the boys end up meeting Holton girls.

They are both good schools. I think it comes down to whether you feel comfortable with the religious aspect of GP.

Good Luck.[/quote]
