Is it possible to retrieve a variable from an object's path?

string path; string info; Teacher teacher;

Let's say for example, I need to retrieve the name of the school that the teacher works for. The logic would be:

info = teacher.school.name;

Simple enough right? Is it possible obtain this information through a string path?

//************Pseudo //assigning the path path = "teacher.school.name" //returning the information by passing the object and its path through the parameters info = GetInfo(teacher, path);

Can this also be achieved with integers, boolean, and floats as well? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
