Actually, if you wish to be technical about this, then children were taught by their elders. The need for a "public school," then, was non-existent. While the men worked with the city, the women worked with the children, and taught them. But the High Priests were the ones who taught the most for their students, since they were the ones who used all arts of magic, and thus they needed to teach their young about their ways.
