Court Schools

Court schools were educational institutions established in Europe, particularly during the Renaissance and Baroque periods, to educate the children of aristocracy and royalty. These schools focused on a curriculum that included classical studies, arts, languages, music, and etiquette, preparing students for their future roles in court or public life. The aim was to cultivate well-rounded individuals who could navigate the complexities of royal courts and high society. Prominent examples include the court schools in France and Germany, where education was tailored to foster social skills and cultural knowledge essential for nobility.
