[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Appreciate the helpful responses. We are still really wavering, mostly because of the athletics (and the social impact that comes with not being interested in sports). I understand that not all of the teams are stacked with the most amazing athletes, but when I say my son is not a strong athlete and doesn’t really like sports, I mean he’s at the bottom of the pecking order on rec teams when he’s played and has zero interest in sports otherwise (he’d never opt to watch a game on tv or engage with what’s happening during March madness etc). I get that there are no cut sports but unfortunately the sports he gravitates toward if he has to play are sports which I know are competitive at Landon.  We liked what we saw and heard about the academics, but I was very similar to him at his age and I have real concerns about his ability to hang socially and athletically. Was hoping someone with a truly unathletic son might weigh in. [/quote]

Plenty of unathletic kids at Landon so I wouldn’t worry about that. But most of the boys do enjoy sports even if they aren’t superstars - Will your son be ok having to play sports every day? A suggestion might be to encourage a love of running - could serve him very well if he’s not a team sport kid. [/quote]
