[quote=Anonymous]Landon grad here with best friends from Prep and Landon with whom I still keep close contact with.
Previous Prep grad was right on. Ignore worries about reputation or that Ivy leaguers from Prep/Landon are jocks. Its a completely distorted myth. If your son is a good student, he will succeed academically at either. I wouldn't base school choice on playing soccer, track or any other sport. Your son is going to go thru a lot of changes in the next few yrs and may completely change sports or abandon them completely. Both schools have plenty of support for athletes in various sports and it would be a mistake to pick one school over another because of a sport. Both schools have increasingly diverse student bodies in terms of ethnicity and extracurricular interests. Wherever he goes, he will almost certainly develop lifelong friendships with students and faculty and feel proud about his school. My experience is that the biggest difference is the religious component to the education. In the end, the kids are just not that different. If your son seems comfortable with one over the other, I would let him make the choice. There is no bad choice.[/quote]
