Ever wonder how the Romans got their education? During the time when Rome was a kingdom, the Romans actually did not have an education from a school. Instead, they were taught from home by their parents. If the parents could afford a proper education, they would likely hire private tutors who would come to their homes and teach them. Until Rome became a republic, any form of formal school did not exist.
When Roman schooling began, the curriculum and rules were developed strictly from Greek schooling methods. As time went on, the Romans evolved their own form of education. In Rome, schools were primarily for men.
The schools taught and disciplined the students harshly. They felt that this was the only way for the boys to learn to be strong and to become tough men later in life. As for the curriculum, the teachers in Rome taught a plethora of subjects, including arithmetic, Latin, and reading/writing. While the poor in Ancient Rome did not receive a formal education, many still learned to read and write.
Girls were not taught in schools. If the parents had enough money and decided that they wanted their daughter to get an education, a tutor would come and teach the same subjects that a normal teacher would teach the boys in schools. For everyone, lessons were learnt by heart.
