If you lived in Georgia during the colonial era, where would you go to school if you lived in Savannah? Where would you go to school if you lived in one of the parishes that were a long boat ride away from Savannah?

During the colonial era in Georgia, education was often limited and schools were not as widespread as they are today. Nevertheless, if you lived in Savannah or one of the parishes far away from Savannah, here's where you would likely go to school:
1. Savannah:
In Savannah, if you were fortunate enough to have access to education, you would most likely attend a private school or have a tutor. Private schools were often affiliated with religious institutions, such as the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (SPG) or the Presbyterian Church. These schools would cater to the children of the wealthier families and the local elite.
2. Parishes far away from Savannah:
In the parishes that were a long boat ride away from Savannah, formal education was even scarcer. If you lived in a rural area, you might not have access to a school at all. In such cases, education was typically provided through informal means, such as homeschooling by parents or older siblings, or occasional visits from itinerant teachers.
There would be a greater reliance on personal or family-based education in these remote areas due to the lack of established schools. Wealthier families might hire private tutors, while others would heavily depend on home-based learning or communal efforts within the local community to educate children.
It's important to note that education during the colonial era in Georgia was limited and varied depending on factors such as social status, economic means, and geographic location.
