Flandreau Indian School - Chaplaincy Program

The Flandreau Indian School was founded in the 1870's by the Presbyterian Board of Missions as a mission school, and has served the needs of Native American students for over 120 years.

In the 1890's the US government bought the school and operated it as a boarding school. It serves grades 9-12 and is accredited by the State of South Dakota. It is the oldest off-reservation boarding school in the country today.

The Chaplaincy Program is funded and supported by

• The Episcopal Diocese of South Dakota
• Christian Church, Disciples of Christ
• Reformed Church - Dakota Classis
• The Roman Catholic Diocese of Sioux Falls
• United Methodist Dakota Conference
• Evangelical Lutheran Church, South Dakota Synod

Chaplain: The Rev. Ron McKinney, an Ordained Presbyterian Minister and member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma.
