Fort George Hostels Indian Residential School (IRS) was located in the community of Fort George on an island at the mouth of the La Grande Rivière on the east coast of James Bay. The IRS operated from 1975 - 1978 (3 years) with no religious denomination affiliation.

With the closing of St. Philip’s Residential School in Fort George in June of 1975, some former students were accommodated in the newly constructed Fort George Hostels.

The hostels opened officially in January of 1976 and were jointly operated by Canada, the Fort George Band Council, and the Hostel Guardians.

In 1978 the James Bay Agreement created the Cree School Board, responsible for the education of all Cree children in the James Bay region.

Between 1979 and 1980, the Fort George community, including its schools, was relocated to Chisasibi as part of the James Bay hydro project.
