between the age of seven and twelve. Reading,
writing, arithmetic, geography, Spanish,
Christian doctrine, and vocal music was part of
the curriculum in the primary grades.

and girls were trained in needlework while the
boys were encouraged to take up farming.

focused on the development of new social patterns
that would prepare the nation for a self-governing
democracy. The primary level curriculum consisted
of English, arithmetic, geography, singing, drawing,
physical education, and character training.
Grammar and social studies were included in the
intermediate level.
