Knight education is the product of feudal social hierarchy in medieval western Europe. It is a special form of family education and a main form of secular education in the Middle Ages, aiming at cultivating knights under the feudal system at that time.

The main goal of knight education is to cultivate chivalry and skills of being brave and good at fighting, loyal to the monarch and respecting the Lord. It is a special form of family education, focusing on learning the "seven chivalrous feats": riding, swimming, throwing guns, fencing, hunting, playing chess and reciting poems. Knight education focuses on instilling obedience and loyalty into the ruling class, training various skills of brave fighting and cultivating loyal defenders of the feudal ruling class, but pays little attention to cultural knowledge.
