Did pompeii have a school

Answer 1

There is evidence of there being lessons for school aged children in Pompeii but very little is known about what was taught and where as there have been no school buildings found anywhere in the town.

However there is evidence that there was no set place for children to be taught, instead their teacher would just take his/her class anywhere where there was an available spot. e.g. the forum.

We know there were schools in Pompeii due to a carving on the wall of one if the exercise areas which talks about school fees being paid along with a list of who had paid and who hadn't.

Answer 2

Yes, Pompeii had several schools for children, known as Ludus. These schools focused on basic reading, writing, and arithmetic, and children usually attended from the ages of 7 to 11. The curriculum also included physical education and music.
