Boarding school syndrome refers to the psychological effects experienced by individuals who attended boarding schools, particularly those from marginalized communities, including Native American children in California. This term encompasses the emotional and social struggles that arise from being separated from family and culture, often leading to feelings of abandonment, loss of identity, and disconnection from one's heritage. In the context of California Indian boarding schools, this syndrome highlights the long-term impacts of forced assimilation policies on Indigenous identities and community cohesion.
