Our new event spaces reflect this commitment.

In spring 2020, Hamlin Robinson School published a newsletter article with these words:

We are painfully aware of how many kids are not able to attend HRS or access our HRS Learning Center tutors; of how many parents struggle to find answers for their children; and of how many educators are not equipped to teach students with dyslexia. As a community...it is useful to channel this frustration into actionable support.

Through the HRS Learning Center and Hamlin Robinson School programs, we continuously offer and seek new ways to deliver actionable support. Our new event spaces reflect this commitment.

When Hamlin Robinson School designed its new middle school, student educational needs were explicitly made a priority. The board also considered how the building would forward its strategic goal of strengthening the impact of Hamlin Robinson School locally, regionally, and nationally.

Our laser-focused resolve to support students, families, educators, and community members in the Seattle area and beyond resulted in the purposeful design of the entire fourth floor of the building. 

The facility includes a conference center, a group meeting room, a commercial-grade kitchen, a tutoring center, and a large outdoor deck. What can we do with these new spaces? The possibilities are countless and as we work and host guests in the new space, we recognize there are benefits we may not have even considered yet. Our current objectives include:

• Growing the HRS Tutoring Program to regionally and nationally support students with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences
• Building a parent support program offering robust resources and regularly scheduled events
• Serving our community as a go-to venue for regularly scheduled educator workshops related to the topic of dyslexia and other language-based learning differences
• Partnering with area non-profit organizations that need accessible, affordable meeting and event space

The struggles and frustrations we referenced in 2020 have not gone away. In fact, they are more relevant than ever. Through these new spaces, Hamlin Robinson School will continue to channel passion into action for our students and community.
