Children of humble background went to school until the age of 10-11. There was not a formal education system and teachers set up their own classes where they could, including in the back of shops separated for the rest of the shop by just a curtain and in the street. They charge a fee. Elementary classes were run by a teacher called litterator. Children learnt to read and write and basic maths.

Children of people who could afford it went to better classes and continued on to the classes run by the grammaticus from the age of 9 to 12 until the age of 14-15. They improved their writing, learnt oration, expressive poetic reading and poetic analysis.Pupils were expected to have some knowledge of spoken and written Greek and classes were both in Latin and Greek.
