/ History, 17th cent.

German term or phrase: Lateinschule / Partikularschule

From a text on Sweden in the 17th century. A school at which reading, writing, math and latin are taught. I'm told thst this type of school didn't exist in Britain, but I need (if possible) the correct term as used by historians. Thank you!
