1. Elementary school (ludus) for boys between 7-12 years. Main emphasis was 3R. These children were accompanied by slaves – pedagogues who were their tutors and carried their bags. The boys also studied homers odyssey – a famous Greek classic which had been translated into Latin. The elementary schools were private and there was no state supervision.
2. Secondary school (12-16 years) boys learned Greek grammar, composition, poetry and history. They also learnt roman vernacular, Latin grammar rhetoric, dialectic, arithmetic, geometry and astronomy. These schools were also modeled like the Greek grammar schools.
3. Higher education – rhetorical schools 16-18 years. Main concern was development of an orator – one who could be used to convince people to vote, help politicians get control; convince troops especially during times of war. In these schools there was effort to combine the Greek theoretical education and the roman practical education. An orator was a model of an educated person. There was a lot of emphasis on rhetorical skills (Socrates was a good orator) educationists stressed on rhetorical skills e.g. Quintilian
