Who We Are

Boys Republic: Cultivating Potential, Restoring Purpose

Since 1907, Boys Republic has been a private, nonprofit, nonsectarian school and treatment community guiding more than 33,000 troubled youth toward purposeful and productive lives.

  • Where We Serve: Our central campus in Chino Hills, California, and residential and day-treatment centers, including Girls Republic, provide safe spaces for growth.
  • What We Do: We help young people uncover resilience, skills, and confidence to build meaningful futures.

Our Mission

  • Family First: We prioritize family reunification whenever possible; when it is not, we ensure lifelong, supportive relationships.
  • Skills for Life: Academic preparation, vocational training, self-regulation, and social development equip our students to return to their communities as capable, principled citizens.

Our Commitment to Equity

Boys Republic complies with all applicable federal civil rights laws and does not discriminate based on race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex.
