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 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 uses the most
effective known whole-class literacy instruction methodology, a comprehensive, multi-sensory approach
adaptive to the school's full curriculum. Most importantly, students learn in a way suiting their needs.
For many, HRS is the first place they experience success, confidence, pride, and a sense of belonging in
school. And for parents, it is the first time they witness their student enjoying school.
Hamlin Robinson School values diversity and welcomes the unique contributions of people from all
backgrounds regardless of race, gender, class, learning style, physical ability, religion, sexual orientation,
and any other aspect of their identity.
