Pennsylvania had the strongest education institutions. An academy that held its first classes in 1740 became the college of Philadelphia. Then it was grown into the University of Philadelphia.

In colonial Pennsylvania, schools were very small with only 5 to 12 students per classroom. Children generally attended school between the ages of 5 and 12. In the rural areas they were called neighborhood schools while in the cities they were called dame schools. Subjects that were taught included simple math, writing, reading and Bible studies.
