Selv om mange af disse tidlige skoler kun var åbne i kort tid, blev der fortsat gjort en indsats. Mohawk Institute Residential School, den ældste, kontinuerligt drevne skole i Canada, åbnede i 1834 på Six Nations of the Grand River nær Brantford i Ontario. Anlægget, der blev administreret af den anglikanske kirke, åbnede som Mechanics' Institute, en dagskole for drenge, i 1828 og blev en kostskole fire år senere, da den tog imod sine første kostelever og begyndte at optage kvindelige elever. Den forblev i drift indtil den 30. juni 1970.

Although many of these early schools were open for only a short time, efforts persisted. The Mohawk Institute Residential School, the oldest, continuously operated residential school in Canada, opened in 1834 on Six Nations of the Grand River near Brantford, Ontario. Administered by the Anglican Church, the facility opened as the Mechanics' Institute, a day school for boys, in 1828 and became a boarding school four years later when it accepted its first boarders and began admitting female students. It remained in operation until June 30, 1970.
