About Us

CapoCA is authorized under state law by the Capistrano Unified School District. The school is operated by the Capistrano Connections Academy Charter School, a nonprofit corporation, through a contract with Connections Academy, LLC, to provide its educational program and other services. The school is governed by an independent Board of Directors and all meetings are open to the public.
