[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You get what you get when you sign upfront Landon. It is primarily made up of the country club/clubby set. Not all, but definitely the dominant feeling at the school. [/quote]

I have mixed feelings about this statement as a Landon parent.  One, are you one?   I think there is a perception, and if you go to the Azalea Festival and that's your main association with the school, it is certainly filled with pink and green and critter shorts.   But when you are at the school, I don't think it feels that way at all.   I also wonder what specifically you mean by this short- hand.    We belong to a country club, primarily for golf as my husband is a big golfer.   It's a nice place, but doesn't define us.   We don't really spend a lot of time there and most of our friends are from other parts of our lives.  I think this is true of many people who belong to country clubs in 2016.   It is a preppy school, I will give you that.   It's hardly all white and Protestant though, sounds like it may have been 20 years ago, but that has changed a lot.    Anyway, just a few further thoughts on the topic.   [/quote]

I'm not pp, but we did look at Landon and I think I know what she means short-hand by country club. It means there is a wealthy, elite air to Landon.
