How to say "institute" in Japanese

• 学院がくいんCommon
  nounCovers 'institute' in the sense of an educational establishment: a school or academy where students are taught. Choose it when you mean a place of instruction, not a society of scholars.
  黒くろ魔法まほうの話はなしを聞ききたいです。学院がくいんではさわりしか聞きいたことがないんですが興味きょうみがあります。↗

  I'd like to hear about black magic. I was only told the highlights in the academy, and it interests me.
• 学士院がくしいんCommon
  nounReally means 'learned society': an academic body or academy of scholars. Its 'institute' sense fits only that scholarly-organization meaning; for an institute that teaches, it is not the word you want.

Use 学院 for 'institute' as an educational establishment that teaches students, and reserve 学士院 for the scholarly-body sense — an academy or learned society of scholars — for which 'learned society' is the closer rendering.
