Three remaining sisters Anne, Charlotte and Emily were taught at home. When Emily was 17 she was sent to girls’ school where Charlotte was teaching. However she returned home very quickly due to homesickness. Anne was sent in school instead of her. The sisters wanted to open their own school later but failed.
