About Us

Dr. Albert Schweitzer Leadership Academy serves approximately 525 students in grades preK - 6. Schweitzer was the first public school in Orange County to be approved for the Leader in Me program in 2020 and was designated as a Leader in Me Lighthouse school in 2025. Schweitzer has been previously recognized as a California Distinguished School, a Title 1 Academic Achievement School, and as a CBEE (Campaign for Business and Education Excellence) Honor Roll School. In 2024, Schweitzer was recognized by the National Center for Urban Schools Transformation as one of 'America's Best Schools'. The same year, we received the Golden Bell Award from the California School Boards Association for our Leader in Me program. Our mission is to continue our work towards all children being successful leaders, who set and achieve their own goals and develop their personal and interpersonal skills.
