The Spartan Education System was a rigorous training program in ancient Sparta designed to prepare male citizens for military service. Starting at age seven, boys entered the agoge, a state-sponsored education system that emphasized physical fitness, discipline, and combat skills. The curriculum included sports, survival skills, and lessons in loyalty and teamwork.
Girls in Sparta also received education, focusing on physical training to ensure they could bear strong children. This unique approach aimed to create a robust society, where both men and women contributed to the strength and stability of the Spartan state.
