Elementary schools, as a formal institution, began to take shape in the 18th century in Europe, particularly with the establishment of compulsory education laws. In the United States, the first public elementary school was established in Boston in 1647, although education at that time was often informal and varied widely. The concept of structured elementary education continued to evolve throughout the 19th century, emphasizing literacy and basic skills for children.
