Robert Hamilton, Head of School
B.A., B.Ed., M.Sc.
My name is Robert Hamilton, and I am the Head of School for Laureate College in Burlington, Ontario. This is a very exciting year for us at Laureate College. In September, we will add grades 1–8 to our school, making us a G1–12 educational facility. At Laureate College, we take pride in building strong, positive relationships with our students and their families. We want families to see that we believe in their child and will support them in becoming the best they can be.
As a community STEAM school, we teach students to become creative thinkers and problem-solvers who work collaboratively and apply their skills in practical, real-life scenarios. We want to change the educational process from “sit and get” to “stand and do”. Our students are active participants in their learning, and teachers continually support them in their individual achievements. With our school’s focus on the inquiry-based approach and the cross-curricular integration of STEAM subjects, Laureate College will be a one-of-a-kind school. Additionally, teachers will utilize our beautiful 50-acre property as a learning resource to enrich the real-life experiences of our students. Why use sheets of paper to teach math when relevant hands-on applications exist on our property? Students of all learning styles will thrive in this unique learning environment. Come check us out!
