They would start school at daybreak just as all other Roman acitvities started. There are stone reliefs depicting children on their way to school in the predawn dark, with their slaves holding lanterns so they could see where they were going.

The length of time a Roman went to school depended largely upon his family's financial status. Education was not free and the lower classes had difficulty paying for the education of their children beyond the basic reading and writing. The very poor more than likely had no education at all. The wealthy or the middle class could afford to pay for longer tutoring with many of them studying abroad in Greece. The actual length of time depended upon the length of time it took for the student to master the course he was taking.

ancient Rome did not have a formal system of education. Children of humble background went to school until the age of 10-11 and received only a basic education. Teachers set up their own classes for a fee. They held the classes where they could, including in the back of shops, separated from the rest of the shop by just a curtain, and in the street. Elementary classes were run by a teacher called litterator. Children learnt to read and write and basic maths.

Children of people who could afford it went to better classes and continued on to the classes run by the grammaticus from the age of 9 to 12 until the age of 14-15. They improved their writing, learnt oration, expressive poetic reading and poetic analysis. Pupils were expected to have some knowledge of spoken and written Greek and classes were bilingual.

A small number of children went on to study with the rhetor. They studied rhetoric.

If you wanted to study further, you went to Greece to study philosophy

Is the black death AD or BC in ancient Rome?

The plague known as the Black Death was a medieval disease and, as far as we know, was not in any way connected to ancient Rome. Ancient Rome did have outbreaks of plague from time to time, but there is not enough evidence to say weather it was the Black Death or not. To answer your question, the Black Death was AD.
