In order to get rid of the control of the church on education, humanists who educated Italy in the European Renaissance also established new court schools with the support of some princes and nobles and local rulers. One of the most famous is the court school named "Happy House" hosted by Vitorino and located in the suburb of Mantova, and the Ferrara court school hosted by Guarino.
These two schools had a great influence on early humanistic education. These schools employ famous scholars to recruit students from all over Europe and conduct so-called general education. After returning to China, overseas students spread Italian humanism widely.
At that time, the Netherlands, where capitalist production developed rapidly, was the first country to accept the influence of the Renaissance. Since14th century, education in the Netherlands has been relatively developed, and the most successful one is the school sponsored by "Civic Life Brotherhood". By the16th century, these schools had been reformed according to the humanistic education thought.
Education in the European Renaissance The new education in the Renaissance absorbed the nutrition of ancient Greek and Roman culture, was nourished by the new culture at that time, broke through the long-term rule of medieval scholasticism and church obscurantism education, created a clue for the school education of modern European bourgeoisie, and played a huge role in the history of education.
