  • Robert Land Academy Parents' Handbook (2019-2020)
    est. 1978 Robert Land Academy Parents’ Handbook (2019-2020) ROBERT LAND ACADEMY HERITAGE Robert Land (1736 – 1818) was an adventurous, loyal frontiersman, who served with the 79th Gordon Highlanders of the British Army. He saw action in the Battle of Louisbourg (1758) and fought with General Wolfe at the Battle of The Plains of Abraham (1759). In 1763, Robert, his wife Phoebe, and their nine children settled in the outlying village of Cushetunk, Pennsylvania. Here, the Land family had immediate contact with the local native peoples and, while hunting, found a wounded aboriginal and carried him home to be nursed back to health. This kindness was to serve him well when he came to rely heavily on his native friends as a British Agent and spy during the American Revolution. Robert Land remained loyal to the Crown when the American Revolution broke out (1775). He was saved from a fiery death when a native companion warned him of danger only hours before the rebel militia razed his home with the intent of taking him and his family hostage. The Land family fled to New York. Robert Land continued in dangerous missions for the British, leading troops through unmapped, otherwise hostile native Indian Territory to attack rebel strongholds. At the end of the hostilities, Captain Robert Land crossed the Niagara River. It was here, after so many hardships, that the Land family settled under the British Flag of Upper Canada and were the first settlers of what is now the City of Hamilton. Robert Land died in 1818 at the age of 82 years.

Others thrive Campus area: 168 acres in the opposite: an environment that is structured and ordered, with very clear limits and recognizable boundaries. Robert Land, truly, is for them. The daily routine is regimented, and discipline is enforced. And the results are consistently astonish- ing. This is a school that prides itself on its ability to turn lives around, and that pride is well placed. Robert Land isn’t for ev- ery student, but, of course, no school is. For students who re- quire structure in order to succeed, Robert Land Academy can make a remarkable difference in a very short period of time. 2 © Our Kids Media, 2017 Originally published on OurKids.net Structure, tradition, responsibility – The Our Kids Review of: ROBERT LAND ACADEMY 1. Basics In the common imagination, military academies are punitive, task-ori- ented, associated with a larger governing body—such as a national military—and created to serve a strategic purpose.

A fortuitous July lunch with Steve Mitchem (proud Fork Union Military Academy alumni) resulted in AMCSUS receiving an “offer we could not refuse”. During this meeting Steve, who is the Editor for U.S. Airways Magazine, candidly expressed his appreciation for the benefit his military education provided to his personal development and later successes. Having personally benefited from his emersion in the military education model, Steve recognized that the general public and more specifically his airline’s readership might be interested in learning about the “Military School Story”. !Fast forward two months and we are now putting the finishing touches on a 66-page editorial on military colleges and schools which will be seen by 6.5 million airline passengers in the November edition of the U.S. Airways Magazine.
