Boys Republic Main Campus

A Full Continuum of Care – CARF Accredited

Boys Republic’s main campus is located in Chino Hills, California. Students live in cottages of 16, or houses of 6, within an open and sprawling 200-acre farm and school. The self-contained campus offers multidisciplinary treatment as a short-term residential therapeutic program (STRTP) for teenagers in need of highly structured supervision. An on-grounds high school, vocational preparedness and work experience programs, athletics and Boys Republic’s famous student government leadership training keep the young residents busy and productive.
  • Cottage living
  • 24-hour supervised, residential milieu
  • Individual, group and family counseling
  • On-grounds WASC-accredited high school
  • ROP certified vocational training
  • Certified substance abuse education and counseling
  • Comprehensive life skills preparation
  • Comprehensive intramural athletic program
  • Independent living specialization when needed
  • Links to transitional housing and aftercare program
  • Graduate scholarship assistance

The Independent Living STRTP consists of two 6-bed houses within the Main Campus provides youth approaching adulthood with the skills they need to function independently. Youth follow a graduated series of real-life challenges through instruction and practical application. Each success is essential to acquiring the skills and attitudes to become self-reliant.

Many youth in placement, particularly those without strong family and community ties, are unprepared for the sudden transition to adulthood. They often lack the knowledge or self-assurance to perform such survival tasks as applying for a job, leasing an apartment, or managing a budget. The unique focus of this program helps youth solidify the progress made within the STRTP with the requisite life skills to be successful when they transition back into the community.

We know from more than a century of experience that successful student outcomes largely depend on our ability to retain mature, knowledgeable staff at all levels. Why is this important?
Direct care staff must model appropriate behavior that we expect students to learn, including truthfulness, following through with commitments, and responding appropriately to constructive criticism. We’re convinced this moral candor is essential to help troubled teenagers grow into responsible adulthood.
And we realize that it often takes years of practice for staff to become fully effective in their job’s myriad of relationship contexts. As our most precious resource, a well-trained staff makes Boys Republic a stronger agency.
