Which term refers to education linked to religious guilds or clergy?

• A. Chantry schools
• B. Burgher schools
• C. Guild schools
• D. Islam

Answer: (A)

Chantry schools are medieval or early modern educational institutions funded by chantry endowments and attached to a church, often run by clergy or religious guilds. The chantry endowment existed to say prayers for the founder’s soul, and education was a key part of those endowments, teaching boys to read, write, and study Latin for church service and clerical work. This makes them the type of education most closely linked to religious guilds or clergy. Burgher schools and guild schools are more civic or secular in their associations with townspeople or craft guilds, while Islam is a religion, not a term for a school type.
