WHO WE ARE
The mission of Hamlin Robinson School (HRS) is to ignite the academic and creative potential of
students with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences. Since its founding in
1983, HRS stands as the only school in the state of Washington exclusively serving the unique
academic and social/emotional needs of students with dyslexia. It is our vision for students who
struggle in traditional settings to experience the classroom as a welcoming and safe place for
learning.
OUR STORY
Hamlin Robinson School has been at the forefront of serving students with dyslexia and other
language-based learning differences for almost 40 years. Our purpose is to fill an unaddressed
gap in the K-12 education system failing to adequately address the learning needs of up to 20%
of the student population; those with dyslexia and unexplained reading challenges.
Our program is in high demand because of our reputation and record of success with students
who learn differently, and our specially trained faculty who teach students accordingly. HRS
utilizes the most effective known method of whole-class literacy instruction, which is a
comprehensive, multi-sensory approach adaptive to the full curriculum of the school. Most
importantly, students learn in the way suiting their needs. For many, HRS is the first place they
experience success, confidence, and a sense of belonging in school.
Hamlin Robinson School values diversity and welcomes the unique contributions of people from
all backgrounds, gender identities, learning styles, physical abilities, and sexual orientations.
