Colonial schools in the 1600s were mostly religiously sponsored and taught boys and girls separately. Students learned reading, writing, arithmetic from hornbooks and paddles with lessons printed on them. Poor children did not receive any education. Girls' studies also included art, music, French, needlework, cooking, and nursing to prepare them for plantation work.
