Matthew W. Guilds and Apprentices
Guilds in the middle ages were a successful breakthrough in the middle ages, mostly because the were really important to become a guild member in the middle ages. Guild comes from the the meaning “to pay”. Guilds were created to protection for workers, they also even protected the customer/consumer. Members of guilds also received protection from excessive taxes. The number of guild member were restricted to make sure there was sufficient business for each of the guild. Guild members were also given goods and/or horses when traveling to different places. They were also given help with funeral expenses and given working hours that were regulated. There were different types of guilds though. There were merchant guilds that controlled the medieval town communities. They tended to be wealthier than most other types of guilds.They even had craft guilds. These guilds believed merchant guilds were imposing on regulations, so the people of crafts and trade established their own guild. Guilds were named to give insight of what that guild did. Examples would be: Middle Ages Feudalism,Medieval work and occupations,Protection of workers,etc. Guilds were a big part of Society.
Guilds paved way for a system we still used today called apprenticeship. Apprenticeship began in the years of being a teen and lasted for about seven years. Apprentices in larger towns and cities were supplied from outlying villages in large numbers. They rarely had a choice in their craft and/or trade.Apprentices lived in their master's house or shop; they usually ate with the master's family, often wore clothes provided by the master, and were subject to the master's discipline. Guild masters usually employed there apprentices. When a apprentice lives with his masters he learns different customs. They even brought home Traditions,and that is how different skills spread. Guilds and Apprenticeship paved way for the middle ages and times after.s

Madden M. Scholasticism
Scholasticism is the system of theology and philosophy taught in medieval European universities, based on Aristotelian logic and the writings of the early Church Fathers and having a strong emphasis on tradition and dogma.
Scholasticism was contributed by a man named Thomas Aquinas. It was developed during medieval times. It was a type of philosophy. Scholasticism was a big part of society. Scholasticism was taught in medieval universities. It was a method of learning.
Part of scholasticism was from the ideas and teachings of Aristotle.
Thomas Aquinas was a priest and Dominican friar. He was the one that combined church teachings with Aristotle's work. Aristotle's teachings had not had any attention to but since Muslims preserved them in the 1100s they brought it back. Europeans did not like his teachings because it was based on reason not faith. One of the things Thomas Aquinas did was is he wrote several things in the 1200s to show how Aristotle would have agreed with the teachings of the Christian church and faith. The Christians were monotheistic. Thomas also wrote about the government. He didn’t just focus on theology. He wrote about how natural law gave people rights and some freedom. These type of things are things like the right to live, to reproduce, and to worship. Since his teachings of natural law it has affected and influenced our present day governments. It also affected the Roman Catholic Church. Thomas Aquinas died in a monastery in a town called Fossanova on the 7th of March 1274.
Universities were started from scholasticism because they wanted to teach it to younger kids. Only men with a grammar school education could go into universities. After 4 years in the school, if you passed logic examinations and advanced latin then you could get a “bachelors” degree. You could go for another 4 years and get a “masters” degree in liberal arts. In 10 years you could earn a “doctors” degree.

Lucas C. Medieval Social Class Education
During the middle ages your social class determined who you are. Usually your education depended on how high up in the social class you were in. In the medieval ages not many people at all had a good education. Usually the monks, Nuns and priests had the highest educations because they owned the universities and schools of the local communities. If you were a peasant of the community you normally wouldn't be able to afford an education. If you a noble, it was a choice and most of the nobles chose to not have an education.
The middle ages was known as the dark age not only because it was a time of lack of money but also because it was a time of no education. Most kings of the middle ages were illiterate. The churches during that time created universities for people to go to and get a good education in theology. Universities were created to train and educate scholars. the first university was founded in Bologna.Churches also opened hospitals for the community. When the Black plague hit the most successful business was the church because they had hospitals people could go to. The one king who really cared about education was king Charlamagne. He opened schools for children to go to and put libraries in some of the communities. Charlamagne valued education and thought that children and people need to learn to read and write even in dark ages such as these.
Theology was something taught in the middle ages by the church. It was the study of church and God. Theology was one of the few classes you could take in universities along with degrees of law or medicine. It usually took about ten years to earn a doctors degree. a degree was the highest form of education you could earn.

Patrick F. Universities of the Middle Ages
During the Middle Ages, education was really only offered to the clergy and ruling members. The education was taught in Cathedral and monasteries. Also, the teachers from these schools were usually clerics and they focused on things like doctoral studies and perspectives. Charlemagne knew that he would need the help of people who were educated in his empire. So, basically he brought education to the Middle Ages. Some of the earliest institutions of higher education to first emerge was in Europe. Also, Pope Gregory VII was one of the key figures in medieval universities he issued a papal decree that would be used for educating the clergy. This decree led to the building of educational centers that would later evolve into universities. In England colleges started to pop up everywhere. An example of this succession is the University of Bologna in Italy which was founded in 1088. Another example was the Balliol College in 1260 by John Balliol in Oxford. They were established in Oxford and in 1209 the first college of the University of Cambridge was created. Prior to the 5th-6th centuries, education was just put in the service of translating or organizing things like sacred text. Scholars and soon to be scholars were supposed to study ancient sacred texts. The curriculum to the cathedrals were wide based. For example, the schools with teachers from Spain would teach things like mathematics and astronomy, while other schools focused on the classical teachings and Chartres specializing in math and music. The University of Paris was made up of a lot of monastery schools at the center of Notre Dame some time around 1119. By the next century, particularly the century after the Corpus Christi College in 1352, colleges like the King’s College (1441) and the Queen’s College (1448) were added to Cambridge University.
