Welcome back to the RLA community
As a returning parent new to the school, we’re sure you have some questions. This page will address some of the most common questions parents of returning students have. Please revisit the Parents Handbook which contains information on many of the Academy’s systems, policies and procedures. A copy of the handbook has been provided to you and is also available on this website.
Schedule of Events
The Academy’s Schedule of Events outlines the various events here at RLA including semester start and end dates, exams and the opportunities students have to leave campus for each semester (Stand Downs). It is provided so that families can plan travel, schedule medical and dental appointments and coordinate family functions for when students will be at home.
Highly Structured
All students are required to adhere to the dates and timings provided in the Schedule of Events. The Academy will not approve early dismissals or late returns as a means to extend a Stand Down or Leave. Please contact the Communications Office (communications@rla.ca) if you wish to discuss the requirements for a compassionate leave for an important family/religious occasion. Maintaining these dates is important to the program and necessary support for our students.
Personal Achievement
Similarly, this system also recognizes personal achievement through promotions in rank and awards. Returning student retain their rank from previous years. Each week throughout the academic year, students have the opportunity to earn awards in several categories. The White Belt is awarded to the student who has worked diligently and achieved the best weekly scores for the condition of his kit in the Company or has made significant improvement with his kit. A Best House recipient is the house within a Company who has the best inspection scores and puts forth a strong effort on White-Glove Inspection. The Athlete of the Week has displayed a positive attitude, strong effort and good sportsmanship during physical training, performance objectives or sports. The Student of the Week has worked to his potential in the classroom and achieved success in an area of difficulty. The Citizen of the Week has gone above and beyond normal duty to lend help and assistance to other students and displays genuine concern for others. Recommendations for these awards are made by staff. Pictures of Award recipients are posted on our Facebook page. Individual awards are recorded on the Cadet Service Record.
Cadet Service Records
At the conclusion of the academic year, each student is provided with a Cadet Service Record which outlines promotions, awards, training, community service and major discipline (Academic Charge, Company Commander’s Charges, or Headmaster’s Charge.). The Cadet Service Record is designed for students to use (if they wish) as a reference for summer employment applications or for admission to camps or other academic institutions. The Cadet Service Record is designed to act as a reference and therefore the Academy does not provide personal references or complete reference forms.

Introducing the RLA Parents' Portal
The parents’ portal is designed to help parents communicate and collaborate. Parents can chat with other parents and post messages in the groups. In recent conversations with our current parents, there is a desire for parents of our students to be able to share experiences and get support.
Robert Land Academy is dedicated to ensuring the experience of both students and parents is positive and productive. This community aims to help parents find important Academy information and support in one online forum.
