List of Martha Jefferson s Schoolmates at the Abbaye Royale de PanthemontOn July 5, 1784, Patsy and her father finally left for Europe, accompanied by James Hemings, a Monticello slave and likely the mixed-race son of Patsy’s maternal grandfather. Arriving in Paris in August, Patsy soon entered the Abbaye Royale de Panthemont, a prestigious convent boarding school that educated mainly daughters of Catholic aristocrats. Largely because of her schooldays at the Panthemont, Martha considered the years she spent in Paris the “brightest part” of her life. A gregarious adolescent who liked jokes, mixed readily with others, and relished her limited independence, she quickly became fluent in French and popular among her classmates. She also received a first-rate education, studying arithmetic, geography, history, Latin, and four modern languages, along with music and drawing making her arguably the most highly educated Virginia woman of her generation.
