[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]sorry three-one hour breaks.  The middle break is a bit longer but includes time for lunch.  [/quote]

I think you are a little confused. I am a Landon parent and there are not three one hour breaks.

For freshman, there is mandatory study hall built into the schedule. Landon schedule is an 8 day schedule so you do not have the same classes every day. Schools starts at 8:05 and goes to 3:15. Each class block is 45 minutes. There is break built in from 10:05 to 10:30. US lunch is 12:25 to 1:35. During lunch is when clubs meet or you can also meet with teachers. So a freshman would have 2 and 25 minutes  free if they used all this time. Most of the boys do not do HW during the short break. It is helpful during lunch to do some HW especially if you are on a team (which for freshman is mandatory for the Fall)

The mandatory study hall goes away in sophomore year. In junior year, you can drop arts as there is only a 2 year requirement. However, advanced biology and chemistry classes area double period with a lab, so most do not get that extra time. In senior year, if you do not take a science with a lab, you could gain an extra free but  you still have to take 5 classes.

Also-there were not 16 kids that went Ivy last year. There were 10. 5 to Penn, 3 to Cornell 1 to  Brown and 1 to Princeton. No one went to stanford.[/quote]
