What was a nuns education?

Answer 1

Roman Catholic AnswerA nuns education is entirely dependent upon what order she belongs to. Normally, when speaking of nun, as opposed to a sister, the basic education required would be religious, spirituality, history, etc. There would be basic education in prayer, etc., and Latin if that is the language used for the Office. Some nuns are not strictly cloistered, and may, perhaps run a school or, in the case of some Benedictine nuns, they may teach or nurse, like a sister. These nuns are sent for advanced education to the appropriate school.
