Extract

Renaissance boys and girls attended a variety of different kinds of pre-university schools in England, France, Italy, and Spain. Renaissance Europe inherited from the Middle Ages a large educational establishment that was not a "school system" in a modern sense. Instead, there were different kinds of schools which complemented or overlapped each other. The many and confusing names for pre-university schools, such as song school, grammar school, and collège, further confuse matters.
