Introduction ODD
Did your son’s problems appear overnight?
Then why would you expect them to disappear overnight?
Robert Land Academy is more than a typical boy’s boot camp – it is a military-inspired boarding school for boys specializing in helping young men realize their potential.
We Make it Happen
Many Schools in the public education system just don’t have the funding, resources, training, or knowledge to effectively teach every child. If your child has a learning disability, is prone to disruptive behaviour, or is building unhealthy interpersonal relationships, this can impact his grades and future prospects. At Robert Land Academy, our mission is to help guide boys to success.
More Than a Boot Camp for Boys.
It may be tempting to send your son to a boy’s boot camp to set his behaviour on the “right track” – but this isn’t a long-term solution.
At Robert Land Academy, we offer a specialized living and learning program that runs throughout the entire school year. Our military school model promotes independence, self-discipline, cooperation, social skills development, healthy living, and the desire to learn.

He’s bright, but traditional education has not been able to motivate him, and he feels excluded.

He has difficulty concentrating on things that do not interest him – especially academics.

It’s hard for him to work with others and stay on task.
04
He challenges authority and struggles with establishing healthy relationships with family and friends.

He wants to achieve belonging, recognition, self-confirmation, and success, but he doesn’t know how.

Feedback
Here’s what the parent of a former student had to say about our ADHD school program.
Robert Land Academy
provides a highly structured motivating program that helps boys to focus their energies and abilities in a constructive self-affirming manner free from the numerous distractions that so often confuse and distract them.
The program has demonstrated success for over 40 years and produced a proven track record of responding to the needs of boys as they navigate through the turbulence of adolescence. Though supportive of the needs of all boys, it has also shown itself to be highly effective in dealing with those diagnosed with some learning and behavioral disabilities including ADHD.
The Robert Land Academy program encourages the growth of self- confidence, self-regulation and self-determination. By regaining control of themselves, they are better able to identify and pursue goals and realize ambitions as they approach graduation and the prospect of adulthood.
