St. Anne’s Indian Residential School was initially located at the Fort Albany Mission, on Albany Island, about 4-5 miles from the James Bay Coast.  In 1932, the School was relocated approximately 4 miles south of the original site about 1 mile from the junction of the Albany and Yellow Rivers from 1932 - 1939 when it burned down. A third School was located just southeast of the second location across a small stream on the same site from 1939 - 1976. The school was in operation from 1906 - 1976 and officially closed on June 30, 1976.
