"This past year of my life
was one of great success. I was able to
accomplish things that I had never thought
possible. My relationship with my parents, which
had once been bleak and uncomfortable, is now full of
love, comfort, trust and communication."
L/Cpl M. Beasley, RLA graduate
"It would appear to me that
you have truly discovered a unique and effective
method of providing service to this very special
segment of student population. In my capacity as
teacher, principal and now superintendent I, like you,
have seen far too many youngsters 'fall through the
cracks' of the institutional educational system.
Your efforts to provide a safety net for these unique
and challenging individuals appears to be well matched
to their needs. Congratulations!"
Paul Perron, Superintendent of Education,
Niagara Catholic District School Board
"Just a quick note to let
you know that Shane will be graduating next month from
the University of Ottawa with his Bachelor of Social
Science (major criminology) degree! A big thank
you again to all of you that were part of his 4 years
at RLA."
M. Henderson, parent
"Your home at RLA was the
special place that helped my son find his place in
life. He has become the person we always knew he
was capable of - and now with this foundation he can
forge ahead. Thank you!
R&J Sone, parents
"Throughout the years, the
staff have worked long and diligently in providing
students a structured and motivated educational
environment. All those involved in the success
of the Robert Land Academy have continuously
demonstrated commitment and zeal. This commitment
on behalf of the students stands as a sterling example
of the success of a collective effort for a common
good."
The Honourable Gilbert Parent, MP, Speaker of
the House of Commons
"Before he attended Robert
Land, we saw a son who had little if any respect for
either himself or his fellow-man. Now we see a
son who beleives in himself and who wants to get
involved in the world. This is truly an amazing
accomplishment in two short years."
B. Busch, parent
"As a concerned parent, it
was so disheartening to watch helplessly as Sean's
amazing potential evaporated in our modern,
unstructured educational system....I am so proud of
the effort Sean has put into all aspects of the RLA
program and I am very happy for Sean because he is now
experiencing healthy, positive success as a result of
his positive efforts."
Dr. T. McKay, parent
"I attended Robert Land
during the school year of 1991 and 1992. Now
close to five years later, do I realize the positive
effect that Robert Land has had on my life...I am now
20 and I am completing my degree in Religious
Studies/Philosophy...I can safely say that RLA saved
my life. Prior to attending your school I was on
the fast track to nowhere. I am now finishing my
degree and I will be enrolling in a Master of Divinity
program at Huron College with the goal of entering the
Anglican Priesthood. Much of my success I owe to
RLA. Robert Land Academy helped me realize my
potential, and has helped me make me who I am
today...In a world of guilty bystanders who only wish
to criticize our youth, you have decided to stand up
and be counted and extend a hand to a generation that
needs values, stability and leadership."
A. Bourque, RLA graduate
