We need everyone's help. We will be reaching out to all of you. And we would ask that you please take our calls when we do.

Of the many ways that teaching excellence is nurtured and recognized at Landon School, the awarding of an endowed faculty chair is one of the most significant. Peter Arnold '82 established The Peter M. Swinehart Chair in Literature & Composition in 2019.
Literary study necessarily confronts us with the richness of human experiences, helping us to appreciate common values and the differences between those experiences across cultures, places, and times. Peter M. Swinehart, a master of the English language, taught at Landon School for more than forty years, delivering excellence in education to generations of boys. Serving as a mentor to his colleagues, Mr. Swinehart was one of the early architects of the humanities program and instrumental in ensuring innovation and creativity was at the forefront of a Landon boys education. The Landon community will be forever grateful to Mr. Swinehart for his dedicated service to the teaching profession.
Income from the Peter M. Swinehart Chair in Literature & Composition exclusively supports the study of "Literature of Accepted Critical Merit" (LACM) and efforts to promote better writing among Landon students. The Peter M. Swinehart Chair in Literature & Composition will honor a member of the faculty who has demonstrated excellence in teaching LACM. Income from the Swinehart Chair will also support (1) teacher professional development in writing instruction focusing on LACM and (2) excellence in implementing methods to help students improve their writing.
