Document Summary
Day school: preceded live-in full time residential schools. You go to during the day, like elementary school. Religious education was taught and was often called mission schools. Children were educated for the day and then allowed to return home. Popular in the beginning of 1800s near settlements for metis people and sometimes in their communities. Residential schools: one is just a plain boarding school (religion was taught and children lived in the schools). Targeted first nations communities between 8-14 and sometimes infants were brought in. Later it was expanded to 16 years old, and if you were not suitable enough to leave, the president of the school kept you until the age of 18. Any contact that the children would have with their families was thought to undo the work done in the residential schools, therefore they were kept year long. Industrial boarding schools: school that starts to merge education of math and english with farming and sowing and baking.
