lists of former boarding schools

Lists of former boarding schools include institutions where students lived and studied away from home, often for specialized or religious education, but which are no longer operational. These lists can highlight schools linked to historical, cultural, or social issues, such as those involved in forced assimilation or residential school systems for Indigenous peoples. They serve as records for research, accountability, and understanding of historical educational practices. Such lists can also help communities and individuals trace histories or acknowledge past experiences related to these institutions.
