<br/><br/> Information concerning Geneva’s urban schools is available from the end of the 14th century, when the Commune’s intervention in the administration of the cathedral school began. During the 15th century and up until the Reformation, the school was under the supervision of the bishop and the cantor, but from the end of the 14th century the Commune also became involved in the school’s administration. For practical reasons, the mayor and the town council took charge of the regulation of the teaching practices and of the supervision of the instructors, whom they hired. In the eyes of the town authorities, the urban school was not only a place for education ; it also was a place for the youth to learn civic values. Therefore, Geneva urban school should be viewed as one of the multiple instruments of social disciplining employed at the end of the Middle Ages.
