The Satsuma Army Cadet School, or "School for Childhood" (''Yônen gakkô''), was a school established by [[Saigo Takamori|Saigô Takamori]] in [[1874]]/6 for the upbringing and training of military officers. It stood on the grounds of [[Terukuni Shrine]] in [[Kagoshima]].
Its establishment was funded by ''shôtenroku'', bonus stipends awarded by the [[Meiji government]] to Saigô, [[Kirino Toshiaki]], [[Oyama Tsunayoshi|Ôyama Tsunayoshi]], and others as rewards for their service in effecting the [[Meiji Restoration]]. As a result, the school was also known as the Shôten School or ''Shôten gakkô''.
The school was directed by [[Shinohara Kunimoto]], who oversaw a faculty consisting of [[Kikita Taiso|Kukita Taisô]] teaching Chinese studies, [[Fukami Aritsune]] teaching Western studies, the Dutchman Schkabel, and the Englishman Copps, among other lecturers. A system was quickly established to send students to study abroad; [[Kio Mitsuji]], [[Kunigo Tetsushi]], and [[Hidaka Masao]] went overseas in [[1875]], and [[Kashiwabara Shoichiro|Kashiwabara Shôichirô]] and [[Nozu Dennojo|Nozu Dennojô]] followed them the following year. Students of the school also included [[Ban Kaneyuki]] and [[Sakakibara Masaharu]].
