Mission school (English spelling)

Japanese: ミッション・スクール(英語表記)mission school
Mission school (English spelling)
A school established by a missionary organization as a means of spreading and evangelizing a religion. It usually refers to Christian schools, particularly those established and run in non-Christian lands. In the sense of a religious school, there are Buddhist and Shinto schools in Japan, but the term "mission school" is used to mean the same thing as a Christian school. The same is true in China, Korea, and other countries where Christian educational institutions were established in the second half of the 19th century.

Japanese:
宗教の宣布・伝道のための手段として,伝道団体(ミッション)の手によって設けられた学校。なかでもとくにキリスト教系の学校のうち,キリスト教圏以外の土地で設立・経営される学校を指すのが普通である。宗教系学校という意味では日本にも仏教系,神道系などの諸学校があるが,〈ミッション・スクール〉といえばキリスト教系学校と同じ意味で用いられている。19世紀後半にキリスト教系教育機関が生まれた中国,朝鮮等においても同様である。
