Roman children of wealthy families were sent to school.
Roman's generally had two ways to learn through education:
1) Home-school: Families that were literate taught their children (& if they were middle-classed or poor) at home, and usually this teaching was passed down through generations.
2) School: Richer families generally paid tuitions for either tutors or to send their children to school. Think of their schools as like "private schools", where you'd have to pay a tuition to enroll.
