In past times being allowed to go to school was not a given, but rather it was a privilege for the rich, the lucky or the extraordinarily talented. In the western world, as going to school became more of a normal happening, it became the first milestone or right of passage in the life of a child. Unfortunately in some parts of the world whether for economic, social or religious reasons going to school is still not a given or a right of every child. We hope this will soon change!

We have gathered below just a few examples of school and learning related images through the centuries. From vintage photos, to specific lessons such as anatomy in renaissance times or sowing in the twentieth century, to famous teachers such as Montessori or even Einstein!
