California Republic Leadership Academy Yorba Linda District

Located at 23705 Via Del Rio in Yorba Linda, California, the California Republic Leadership Academy Yorba Linda District is a newly established independent charter district operating a single school campus. Set in a large suburban neighborhood within the broader Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim metropolitan area, the district functions as its own local educational agency for federal programs. While structured to ultimately serve students from kindergarten through eighth grade, the academy is currently building its program from the ground up, educating children in its foundational primary grades from kindergarten through third grade. This suburban framework and independent charter model offer local families an innovative educational alternative focused on early character and leadership development.

During the 2024–2025 school year, the district fosters an intimate, tight-knit learning environment with an inaugural student body of 60 children—comprising 23 kindergarteners, 15 first graders, 8 second graders, and 14 third graders. The student population is diverse, including 21 Asian, 21 Hispanic, 13 White, and 5 multiracial students. To support this early cohort, the district maintains a robust staffing profile relative to its student body, employing 11 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members. This dedicated team includes approximately 5.36 FTE teachers, an instructional aide, and over four support staff personnel. This highly favorable staff-to-student ratio allows for exceptionally personalized instruction, ensuring strong academic and social support as the academy continues to expand into its higher grade levels.
