Education in the colonies was not like it is today. Children were taught basic math skills and reading. They were also taught to read The Bible and some communities had a public school if there were enough families living there. Most schools were located in homes. Girls were not allowed to go to college but were taught to read and do math so they could take care of household finances and read the bible. Boys were encouraged to get a higher education for their families benefit.
