Children's lives in Ancient Greece differed based on the city state they grew up in. Spartan boys began military training at the age of 7 and did not return home. Athenian boys were home schooled until the age of 13 and then were sent to school.

Education was compulsory for the ancient Greek citizen. There were two systems. One was the Athens education system that all children should attend the public school which was not free of charge. In their adolescence it was decided whether they will continue to higher level or would follow a technicians profession. Similar to that education was provided by all democratic cities allies of Athens.

In the Spartan system the education was provided by the state for all citizens children from the age of 6 until their first adult year. It was provided by teachers of the state's choice [παιδαγωγοί] in camps that were both schools and army training centers. The citizens of Sparta were ment to be first soldiers and the citizens. Similar or as close as possible education was provided by the city states that were Sparta's allies.
