Elite boys were first educated in either a "boarding school" which taught a curriculum of rhetoric, poetry, classical language, math, fine arts, and science, or a military academy. By age 15 they were expected to enter into university study (resp. military service) in order to specialize into one or more roles in elite society. If a male failed to pass the full "pre-specialization" curriculum, he could not enter specialist training and thus was effectively banished from elite society. Those who passed the basic "intellectual" curriculum but failed to specialize usually worked as "managers", bureaucrats or schoolteachers. One or more requirements could be waived for a child of exceptional ability in one area.

Elite girls also had access to a full boarding school education (though they could not serve in the military), enough for them to be independent. Unlike males, however, they were not expected to undergo male specialization. Women who wished to become schoolteachers or musicians received appropriate additional training. Some women, mostly courtesans-in-training or those who aspired to marry the most powerful aristocrats, underwent education meant for male specialists; in fact, the word in [[Tíogall]] for 'courtesan', ''mostaħóifá'', was historically the female form of the word for 'specialist' in Netagin.
