Harrell International Institute

1871) was an American Christian missionary school established in Muskogee, Indian Territory, in 1871.

Controlled by the Woman's Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, it was possibly the first self-supporting school among the Native Americans in the United States.

[7] In 1888, the school entered the term with a degree of prosperity which it has never before had, the Woman's Board of Missions making every effort to insure its success.

The Board appropriated money to furnish the building and the necessary improvements in the way of outbuildings, and so forth.

There were five departments in the institute, viz: Collegiate, Academic, Primary, Music, and Art.

The expenses incurred in 1890 in anticipation of an enlarged patronage of the school were justified in the fact that up to that date 114 students had matriculated.

The grounds were ornamented, trees having been set out, drives laid off, and flower beds arranged.
