He held a "School for Reformed Theology" there, and John Knox (from Scotland) was one of his pupils. The churches in Geneva and many of those in Europe that were developed from Calvin and his pupils can be considered to be Presbyterian, although they may not have had that word in their name. John Knox brought Calvin's teachings back to Scotland.Actually, Presbyterian refers to the way the church is governed - by elected representatives (elders or presbyters) from the congregation.
