There are two types of schools (at least) that are often called "missionary schools". I am speaking within the context of Christian missions.

1. The most common use of the term is an elementary or high school started and run by missionaries. In some parts of the world (historically, and even to this day) there are places where education, (reading, writing, math, etc.), are not taught or taught so poorly that local children are at a disadvantage. Christian missionaries would set up schools for the children. Often they would teach, but may also utlize the services of local teachers. As misisonaries, they would typically incorporate the Holy Bible into the training, as well as Christian doctrine and ethics.

2. In some cases the term can be used as a short form for "missionary training school." In this case, it describes a school or training program designed to train people in the theory and practice of mission work.

How many years do you have to go to school to be a missionary?

This depends on where you go to school. Some missionaries go to the field without any prior training, which is not recommended but it has been done. Most missionaries attend a Christian college for four years before becoming a missionary. But there are many others who attend two year or one year programs before becoming a missionary. For a recommended one year missionary training school, go to the link on the bottom entitled "What is a school you could attend to become a missionary?"
