COLONIAL SOCIETY 3

Meaning Clusters

The first school

in Pennsylvania
began in 1683.

It taught reading,
writing and accounting.

Thereafter,
every Quaker community
provided their children
with elementary teaching.

The Friends Public School

offered advanced training

in classical languages,
history and literature.

 

It still operates

in Philadelphia as

the William Penn Charter School.

Parents who could
afford tuition
were required
to pay it.

 

The school was free
to the poor.

In Philadelphia,
numerous private schools
with no religious affiliation

taught languages, mathematics

and natural science.

Night schools were
available for adults.

The educational opportunities

for women were limited

to activities performed

in the home.

Private teachers

instructed the daughters

of wealthy Philadelphians

in French, music, dancing, painting, singing, grammar and sometimes bookkeeping.
