After six years at home, Charlotte continued her education and began attending Roe Head School (The Brontë Society & Brontë Parsonage Museum, n.d.a).

Emily followed Charlotte and began attending Cowan Bridge in 1824. Emily despised school and ostracized herself from everyone but her family (The Brontë Society & Brontë Parsonage Museum, n.d.b). After the sickness of Maria and Elizabeth, Emily returned home from Cowan Bridge in June 1825.

To earn an income and support the family, Emily began teaching at Law Hill School in 1837 (The Brontë Society & Brontë Parsonage Museum, n.b.a). Emily thoroughly despised teaching and interacting with students; therefore, she returned home in March of 1838 (21st Century Education 2014; The Brontë Society & Brontë Parsonage Museum, n.b.a.). The only thing that enticed Emily to return to school was the thought of being able to work close to home (The Great British Channel, 2014). In 1842, Emily went with Charlotte to Brussels in the hopes of opening their own school (The Brontë Society & Brontë Parsonage Museum, n.b.a).

Indifferent to the public’s reactions, Emily protested revealing their true identities but finally gave in to Charlotte’s desires (21st Century Education,
