The Churchill Vocational Centre was located at Fort Churchill, which was approximately five miles from the Town of Churchill, Manitoba, on the western coast of Kiché Kamí (Hudson Bay).

The Churchill Vocational Centre was also identified, over its existence as (Fort) Churchill School (1964 - 1973), (Fort) Churchill Federal School (1964 - 1965), (Fort) Churchill Hostel (1964 - 1968), (Fort) Churchill Pupil Residence (1965 - 1970), Churchill Vocational School (Vocational School at Churchill) (1966 - 1973), (Churchill) Student Residence (1970), and Eskimo Residential School (1971).

The Government of Canada was responsible for funding, management, and operation from September 9, 1964, to June 30, 1973 (9 years). The Churchill Vocational Centre was nondenominational; however, the federal government requested the assistance of the Roman Catholic and Anglican authorities in an informal advisory capacity to recruit pupils and the nominations of candidates for supervisory positions in residence.

The Churchill Vocational Centre provided residential accommodations and technical and vocational training, primarily for Inuit students. A smaller group of students lived in residence and attended classes in the town of Churchill. Students enrolled at the Churchill Vocational Centre must have completed grade 5 or have been 15 years of age. Ages for pupils receiving training ranged from mid-to-late teens, with an average age of 16-17. The pupils residing at the Churchill Vocation Centre were as young as ten years old. Inuit students living at the residence attended the academic programs at local schools in the town of Churchill. For example, during the 1964/65 academic year grades, 4 - 9 attended Duke of Edinburgh; from 1965 to 1973, kindergarten to grade 6 and grades 10 – 12 were held at Duke of Edinburgh; and from 1969-1973, grades 7 - 9 were held at Hearne Hall Junior High School. Student enrolment at the Churchill Vocational Centre over the nine years tallied 1,832 students.
