What was the name of the school created by Charlemagne at his palace?

The school created or reformed at Charlemagne’s palace was called the Palace School, or scola palatina in Latin. It operated at the royal court and became an important center of the Carolingian Renaissance.

Earlier palace schooling had emphasized court manners and military training, but Charlemagne redirected it toward literacy and scholarship. From around 780, the court promoted Latin grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music—the subjects later grouped as the liberal arts.

The English scholar Alcuin of York became the leading intellectual influence on the program after arriving at Charlemagne’s court around 782. He helped train members of the royal household and encouraged the copying and correction of manuscripts. The Palace School was not a medieval university like Oxford, Cambridge, or Paris; it was a court-centered educational institution.
