In colonial Delaware, children typically attended school for about three to four months each year, often during the winter months when agricultural work was minimal. The education system was informal, with instruction often provided by local churches or private tutors. Many children received basic education in reading, writing, and arithmetic, but attendance varied significantly based on family circumstances and the availability of schools.
It depended in which colony, but if you are talking about the new England colonies, the answer is yes, puritans encourage the education and the found Harvard university
His children go to the same school as mine.
Yes they did. Part of the colonial pattern was to build a church and then a school. It was considered a priviledge to get an education, and the local colonists paid a school teacher to teach their children.
