Confucian-oriented education has long been a main stream of education of China and Korea. However, traditional education that was done so long a time was replaced by western studies after China and Korea began to come into contact with Western culture in earnest around the Opium War of China and Japan-Korea Treaty of 1876 (Ganghwa Treaty)of Korea. After mission school was accepted for reasons of the introduction of Christianity, saving the country against invasion of Western powers and alternatives to traditional education, missionary school contributed to lead the changes the introduction of studies and culture of the West and made for supply of the Mother tongue through Bible Translation. The mission schools on China and Korea have the common places in the establishment of modern studies, dissemination of the Mother tongue through Bible Translation, the efforts to save the country in the difficult situation. In Korea, mission schools were successful on indigenization even through mission schools awarded the oppression of the Japanese as a hotbed of ethnic-based school education. On the other hand, mission schools in China walk the other way than South Korea. In particular, after in 1949 the Socialist People's Republic of China erected and the missionaries left China, the mission schools in China were confiscated, merged elsewhere or closed down. Missionary schools which were selected for the method of mission played a role as a bridge to transition from traditional education to modern education. The study on the commonalities and differences of impacts and characters on modern education of the mission schools of China and Korea would be able to contribute to understanding the modern education of China and Korea.
