[quote=Anonymous]I am not sure how I stumbled on this website but I would suggest that most of the posts  be ignored and that may include what I am about to write.

Both Landon and GP offer quality educations for young men. They offer small classes and interaction with the faculty that may not be possible at public schools. I would suggest that if you are considering a private school that both of these institutions should be considered. Take a tour, interview the faculty, inspect the facilities and get a feel for each of the schools and ignore the biased opinions you have read on this forum.

I would opine that the parents of a boy that struggled at either school should investigate why their son could not flourish in such an ideal situation, rather than blame the school.

Extrapolating the actions of a single individual to condemn a school is fool hearty. Similarly, many of the "scandals" were handled quite differently by each of the schools and the media.

It has been over 10 years since my son graduated from Landon as a "lifer". The study skills and discipline my son learned in the Lower School, were valuable in high school and college. The friendships established have been enduring.

If you are sending your son to either school to get into an "Ivy League" school then you are shortchanging your child and the school. My son had his choice of Princeton, Duke or UVA among others. I get the feeling that most on this forum would have chosen Princeton but my son chose UVA, invested his college fund, graduated from the McIntyre School of Business and has never questioned his decision on schools. He had many friends that attended Princeton and they actually envied his UVA experience.

If you are looking for schools that turn out well rounded young men that have been exposed to the arts, sports, competition and intellectually challenged, either Landon or Prep would be excellent choices.

Again, ignore posters with an agenda, evaluate each school and make your own decision
