Kuper Island Indian Residential School (IRS) was located on Kuper Island near the community of Chemainus, Vancouver Island. The IRS operated from 1890 - 1975 (85 years).

The IRS was opened, under Catholic administration, in 1890. The federal government took over administration of the school in 1969 and closed the school in 1975. In 1895, students set the school on fire because holidays were cancelled.
