To the Greeks it seemed only natural to occupy one’s leisure with learning and thinking, and schole came to mean “a place of learning” as well as “leisure”. The Romans borrowed the Greek word as schola and employed Greek slaves as teachers. Christian missionaries later established schools throughout Europe and Latin schola became Old English school.
