*''Japanese'': 士学校 ''(shi gakkou)''
''Shigakkô'', literally "warrior schools" or "samurai schools," were private centers of instruction for samurai youth, established and operated by pro-samurai figures such as [[Saigo Takamori|Saigô Takamori]], and prominent particularly in the early years of the [[Meiji period]], particularly in [[Kagoshima prefecture]].
In [[1877]], on the eve of the [[Satsuma Rebellion]], there were roughly 7,000 such schools in Kagoshima prefecture (formerly [[Satsuma han]]) alone, with a total enrollment of roughly 20,000 students.
