One of my favorite activities as Head of School is watching Question of the Day – a daily practice at morning assembly. One by one, students step up to the microphone to answer a specific question in front of their peers. In September, many voices are quiet and hesitant. By winter, the same students speak with increasing self-assurance and clarity. This practice reminds me why the HRS approach makes such a difference: 

Our school creates space for students to become both successful learners and confident leaders. 

At HRS, learning happens everywhere. Our classroom instruction is carefully designed for students with language-based learning differences – and the comprehensive school experience we create is just as intentional. On any given day, you might see students tinkering in the Makerspace, planning Spirit Week programming, or practicing guitar chords in the music room. Each activity builds different skills, but they are all in service of the same goal: offering our students the best possible school experience, one where they can realize their strengths and build confidence. 

This is a goal we’re continuously supporting – one you’ll see reflected in the following pages. You’ll read about our exciting Auxiliary Programs, school leadership opportunities, and our Fund-A-Need (FAN) for the upcoming auction. FAN will focus on enhancing the school’s outdoor play facilities and, in turn, the student experience itself.  

The impact of the comprehensive school experience at Hamlin Robinson School is clear. We hear it in conversations at parent-teacher conferences, reflections shared on Level 8 Graduation Day, and stories told by visiting alumni. Through our program, students find their voice, a sense of confidence, and a spark that propels them forward.  

Holistically supporting students with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences means creating a school where they can thrive in every way. From ArtsFest to the Science & Engineering Fair, from field trips to enrichment visits. At HRS, every experience adds to our students’ growth and unique path to success.
