Robert Land Academy (RLA) is a private military-style boarding school program in West Lincoln, Ontario, Canada.

The barracks are normally named in tribute to famous military figures in pre-Confederation Canadian history, such as Major-General Isaac Brock (leader of British forces at the Battle of Queenston Heights during the War of 1812), Major John Butler (leader of the irregular militia regiment named after him, Butler's Rangers, formed for service in the American Revolutionary War), and Joseph Brant (1743–1807) who was a Mohawk military and political leader who was closely associated with Great Britain during and after the American Revolution.

The school itself is named after Robert Land,[3] an adventurous, loyal frontiersman, who served with the 79th Gordon Highlanders of the British Army.

Robert Land continued in dangerous missions for the British, leading troops through unmapped, otherwise hostile native Indian Territory to attack rebel strongholds.

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.

According to the Academy's website, the military theme allows for the reinforcement of the importance of organization, teamwork, discipline and personal responsibility.

Students admitted to the Academy mostly do not fit in the public school system because of academics, behaviour, attitude and other problems.

Robert Land Academy entered some controversy on November 13, 1998, after two boys, Matt Toppi, 17 years of age, and Christopher Brown, 16 years of age, were both killed after running away from Robert Land Academy and had been struck by a freight train.

This overnight arts camp closed its doors after 2019,[11] in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic preventing operations the following year.
