==Other uses of the term== In some countries, the term ''seminary'' is also used for secular schools of higher education that train teachers; in the nineteenth century, many [[female seminary|female seminaries]] were established in the United States.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.womenscolleges.org/about/history | title = The Rise of Women's Colleges, Coeducation | publisher = The Women's College Coalition | access-date = June 24, 2011 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110903142810/http://www.womenscolleges.org/about/history | archive-date = September 3, 2011 | url-status = live }}</ref> [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] (LDS Church) hosts seminary classes for [[high school]] students ages 14 to 18, as part of the [[Church Educational System]]. Unlike use in other religious contexts, the word "seminary", in an LDS Church context, does not refer to a higher education program designed to train students that they may obtain a church-based career.<ref>{{cite book |title=All Abraham's Children |last=Mauss |first=Armand L. |author-link=Armand Mauss |year=2003 |publisher=University of Illinois Press |isbn=978-0-252-02803-8 |pages=84β85 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7lXq9JfR_EYC&pg=PA85 |access-date=2008-09-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161022080424/https://books.google.com/books?id=7lXq9JfR_EYC&pg=PA85 |archive-date=2016-10-22 |url-status=live }}</ref> It does, however, help prepare them for spiritual service within the church (such as LDS missions and other callings). LDS seminary students do not get high school credit for their seminary studies.
