Indian Boarding School was constructed in 1902 in Old Leupp. But the location of the school was unsafe due to floods caused by the Little Colorado River. In 1938 after the BIA facilities received severe damages by the second flood, the school was closed. Within time, the community selected another site on higher grounds for a new school that was completed in 1960 known as Leupp Boarding School.

Leupp Boarding School was established in 1960 as a K-8 Bureau of Indian Affairs school and filled to capacity by serving a large number of students from various areas of the Navajo reservation. As schools were being built in other parts of the Navajo reservation, enrollment began to declined, leaving empty buildings. The local community negotiated with Tooh Dineh Industries, Inc., a high-tech electronic entrepreneur, to least one of the dormitories as an employment site. The site now provides employment for the surrounding community members. In 1986, Leupp Boarding School became a K-12 contract school under the 638 Indian Self- Determination Acts. In 1988, the school became a grant school in officially became known as Leupp schools, Inc.
