Cristal Lake High School was an all-girls school located on Cristal Lake, approximately 600 km north of Thunder Bay, and was in operation from September 1976 - June 1986 (10 years).
The IRS was also known as Cristal Lake School.
The Government of Canada was responsible for funding the school and was managed and operated on behalf of the government by the Mennonite Church through the Northern Youth Program, Inc., a branch of the Mennonite Northern Light Gospel Missions.
Student enrolment at the IRS ranged between 15 in 1976/77 to 29 in 1985/86. Grades taught at the IRS were mainly high school (9, 10, 11, 12) except the last two years when other grades were taught to children of staff (kindergarten, 3, 5, 7).
