In 1831, Charlotte Bronte enrolls in Miss Wooler's School at Roe Head and finished her education a year later. In 1835, she comes back to Roe Head and is employed as a teacher for three years, and in 1838, she resigns. During her time as a teacher, she taught her sisters, Emily and Anne, for a short amount of time and paid for their tuition with her own paycheck. A year after her resignation, she becomes a governess for the Sidgwick family for only three months.

In 1842, Charlotte and Emily travel to Brussels where the two sisters were enrolled at the Pensionnat until their Aunt Branwell passes away. After Aunt Branwell's death, Emily decided not to return to Pensionnat and Charlotte attempted to return on her own, but ultimately dropped out in 1844.
