[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I came on here to suggest SAAS but I see it’s already on your radar. I’m not familiar with Saint Albans but  SAAS is definitely more academically demanding than Landon. My son just finished middle school at Saint Anselm’s and it as a wonderful experience.[/quote]

Op here, I'm assuming that your son fits a similar profile to mine. If so, what other schools were considered for middle school? [/quote]

PP here. Yes, my son sounds very similar to yours. At the risk of outing him, he was actually at Landon lower school before starting at the Abbey. We have no hard feelings against Landon, my son was happy there and it was a lovely school, but my son needed more academic challenge. I imagine Landon would have gotten more challenging in middle and upper school but we decided to try something different and it has worked out very well for my son. The only other school we considered was GDS but he wasn't accepted and I think, in hindsight, the Abbey suits him better because he's not necessarily a self-starter - he needs structure and to have high expectations placed on him. We also really liked the unpretentiousness of the Abbey community. Good luck in your search![/quote]
