Alice is taught at home by a governess. In Victorian England it was common for middle and upper class families to hire a governess to take care of their daughters' education within the family home, while their sons went to boarding school.

From the text of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland we can see that Alice has attended school (a day school, not a boarding school) but that she doesn't at the time the book is set.

"'I've been to a day-school, too,' said Alice; 'you needn't be so proud as all that.'"

However, she is clearly being taught somewhere.

"'But then,' thought Alice, 'shall I never get any older than I am now? That'll be a comfort, one way-never to be an old woman- but then-always to have lessons to learn! Oh, I shouldn't like that!'"

In Through the Looking Glass, which is set six months later, it is made apparent that Alice has a governess.

"'That would never do, I'm sure,' said Alice: 'the governess would never think of excusing me lessons for that. If she couldn't remember my name, she'd call me "Miss!" as the servants do.'"
