So for a legend like Amelia Earhart, to hear about her strange education is a little shocking. As a teenager, Amelia Earhart had to live with her grandparents. She was homeschooled by her mom too. A fan of reading, Earhart spent lots of time in her family’s library. So in 1909, Earhart and her sister had the chance to join an actual school and was already 12 years old joining the 7th grade.
