Back in Christopher Columbus's childhood (mid 1400s), children did not attend school. In nearly all families, boys were expected to take up their fathers' occupations; girls were expected to help at home. Christopher's father was a weaver. Christopher helped by taking woven fabric goods to other ports. This is how Christopher fell in love with sailing! Also, teens and men learned as apprentices to other older, experienced men in the same trade. So older sailors taught Christopher about ships and sailing.

Christopher Columbus never attended what we know as "Grade School", "High School", or "University". Instead, he sailed, on behalf of his country.
