Boarding Schools
Beginning in the nineteenth century, boarding schools played a fundamental role in the programs designed by the U.S. government to foster the assimilation of native peoples into the mainstream of American society. Reformers and politicians who favored the policy of reservation allotment also advanced the concept of placing Indian children in residential schools where they would speak English, learn a vocation, and practice farming. Advocates of boarding schools argued that industrial training, in combination with several years of isolation from family, would diminish the influence of tribalism on a new generation of American Indians. For fifty years after the first federally administered residential school was established in 1879 at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, thousands of Native American children and youth were sent to live, work, and be educated in the schools. Prior to Carlisle, most American Indians had little experience with the boarding-school concept. Some had attended mission schools, and three unique institutions had developed earlier in the century: the Choctaw Academy and the Cherokee Male and Female Seminaries. The Choctaw Academy in Kentucky, founded in 1825, was a male boarding school that Indian and white children attended. The academy was funded by proceeds from Choctaw land cessions in the Southeast during the 1820s. By 1851, the Cherokees in Oklahoma had opened male and female seminaries near Tahlequah to educate members of their nation. Cherokee students studied a curriculum that was patterned after that of Mount Holyoke Seminary in Massachusetts.

Introduction
Task Process ... Credits
Introduction
From the time that treaties were first made between Native People and European People, the subject of education was addressed. At some point, it became a policy to build boarding schools far away from the homes of the children who had to attend them. Some well-known boarding schools were Phoenix Indian School in Arizona, Ft. Lewis School in Colorado, Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania, and Shawnee Mission School in Kansas. There were well over 50 boarding schools in America. What was life like for the children who were sent away to these kind of schools? In many cases, the children were taken from their families by force. The mission of some boarding school administrators was called assimilation . This meant that all the cultural teachings learned at home were taught to be wrong, and the so-called civilized teachings were to be learned instead. Often, if anyone was caught even speaking in their native tongue, they were severely punished, including being beaten.

    Private vs. Public Schools: What's the Difference?
    (Page 1 of 3) Your goal is to find a school that will meet your child's needs. But how do you choose between a public school and a private school? By Victoria Thorp and Jesse James, GreatSchools.net Staff
    Cost
    Public schools cannot charge tuition. They are funded through federal, state and local taxes. When you pay your taxes, you are paying for your child's education and the education of other children in your community. Private schools cost money. Private schools do not receive tax revenues, but instead are funded through tuition, fundraising, donations and private grants. According to the National Association of Independent Schools, the median tuition for private day schools in the United States is close to $12,000 for grades 1 to 3, $13,000 for grades 6 to 8 and $15,000 for grades 9 to 12. The median tuition for boarding schools is $12,000 for grades 1 to 3, $27,000 for grades 6 to 9, and $28,000 for grades 9 to 12. Parochial schools generally charge somewhat less.

      GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT BOARDING SCHOOLS
      The most famous boarding school for Indian children was the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania, founded by Richard Pratt in 1879. The philosophy and intent of this and most subsequent schools was to assimilate Indian children by removing them from their native cultures, and teaching them the manners, dress, and job skills that were deemed important by the school founders and administrators. While boarding schools still exist, most had changed their practices of forced assimilation by the 1930s.

    Schools hail pastor as a hero who redeemed teens
    Post-Dispatch/November 17, 2002
    By Matthew Franck
    A half-smiling portrait of a deceased radio preacher steals the attention of all who enter the small lobby of Mountain Park Baptist Boarding Academy. It's the visage of Lester Roloff, who is seen by several Missouri reform schools as a hero in the battle to bring wayward teens to Jesus, while fending off the demons of government control. Mountain Park's Web site proudly says that the school's founder was personally trained by the minister. Elsewhere in Missouri, Agape Boarding School and Thanks to Calvary say they are not Roloff schools, but their leaders praise the pastor's work and display photos of him. Agape has named one of its dorms in Roloff's honor. Roloff, who died in a plane crash in 1982, is perhaps best known for his "Family Altar" radio ministry, which was once broadcast from Corpus Christi, Texas, to more than 140 stations. As his radio ministry grew, the fundamentalist Baptist preacher began reaching out to drug-addicted men and rebellious teens. By the late 1960s, he was taking in dozens of wayward girls, most of whom were pregnant. His philosophy was to immerse the girls in a monastic lifestyle of Bible teachings. He kept the teens in check with the rod of corporal punishment. It was a pattern for dealing with defiant teens that appealed to parents from across the country and is still followed today. But Roloff left another legacy.

Crosiar 346-3135 NOTE TO EDITORS : For information about "They Sacrificed for Our Survival," an exhibit about the Indian boarding school experience opening Sept. 28 at the UO Museum of Natural History, see the story, "Indian Boarding School Exhibit Opens at Natural History Museum Sept. 28." The first exclusively Indian federal boarding school was opened in Carlisle, Pa., in 1879. Its mission: to civilize Native Americans, who were thought to be primitive and "slow." Its director, army Capt. Richard H. Pratt, often said about his students, "Kill the Indian in them and save the man." Although many administrators were sympathetic to their students, they did not intend to educate future leaders, much less include Native American skills, beliefs and attitudes in their educational model. The United States government and the schools believed Indians were best suited for manual work and should have low expectations in a white world. So, early school programs emphasized farm labor, housekeeping, uniformity and military discipline. In the 1800s, children often were kidnapped and taken to school by force. As public opinion and policy gradually changed, Indian parents became more willing to send their children to school in order to give them marketable skills and a chance to get along in white America.
