The education system of the Aztecs was comprehensive and began at a young age. Mexican children, both boys and girls, were educated by their parents at home from the age of three. At age 15, the sons of noble Aztecs could enroll in the Calmecac school, where they were taught various subjects, including medicine, astronomy, and government administration. The Telpochcalli school was reserved for middle-class Mexicans, where the children were trained to become warriors and artisans. Girls were trained to become priestesses and learned how to make religious objects by using feathers and knitting. The Aztecs believed that education was essential for a successful life, so children were taught a range of essential skills from a young age.
