History
For over 30 years, the Hamlin Robinson School has been the only non-profit school in Washington that specializes in a program specifically for children with dyslexia and other language-related learning issues. In 1991 HRS was accredited by the Pacific Northwest Association of Independent Schools.
The school was founded in 1983 by the Slingerland Institute for Literacy and the Robinson family, in memory of Hamlin Robinson, the first board chair of the Slingerland Institute for Literacy. The school has been operating independently since the fall of 1986.
The school has grown from its first class of eleven children to a student body of over 200 in first through eighth grade. Nearly 1,000 students have attended Hamlin Robinson since its doors opened in 1983.
On May 5, 2010, the Seattle School Board approved the lease of the T.T. Minor building to the Hamlin Robinson School.
On October 8, 2012, HRS announced that it would be moving to a permanent location and on September 23, 2013, it was announced that the site would be in the North Beacon Hill neighborhood.
The School moved to its permanent home on June 15, 2015. This new building is specifically designed for HRS's unique program.
