[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a Landon student, I believe that both schools are great.  I have never been a a GP class, but I know that many of my friends love it.  In all honesty, Landon and GP are very similiar, and offer great oppurtunities in both academics and athletics  [/quote]

These two schools while similar at a superficial level are radically different fundamentally.

GPrep is close to being 100% Catholics while Catholics at Landon are a rarity. Sure there are some, but these are largely people new to Washington, who don't understand the lay of the land in DC.

GPep is run by the Jesuits and although the number of Priests is shrinking, the Jesuit fundamentals are still in place. Religion and the Catholic faith are big parts of the Prep experience.

For the most part thesre is a strong antipathy between the two student bodies, the alumni and even the parents. A recent article in the Landon magzine made all those observations putting into print what everybody already knows.[/quote]
