The Government of Canada was responsible for its funding which was managed and operated by the Roman Catholic Church and administered by the Church Sisters of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin (Soeurs de l’assumption de la Sainte Vierge) (1894 - 1934), the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, the Sisters of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin (Oblats de Marie-Immaculée and the Soeurs de l’assumption de la Sainte Veirge), and later the Oblate Indian and Eskimo Council (INDIANESCOM) (1934 - 1969). Management of the IRS transferred to the federal government on April 1, 1969. On March 30, 1911, an agreement between the federal government and the Bishop of St. Albert for its operation and management was signed.

Some students also attended other schools; 1968-69 grades 9 - 12 attended High School at Paradise Hill and 1973-74 grades 4 - 9 attended Onion Lake Central School.
