Towards the end of the 19th century Jews from Suchedniów organised a cheder at the synagogue. Private cheders for small groups of students were organised by Yitsek Nayman since 1901 and by Yitsek Minkowski since 1902.

In 1905–1907 the town also had an elementary school for Jewish girls, run by Hana Chinda Rozencwajg[1.1]. During the interwar period the Jewish community in Suchedniów financed the Talmud Torah school for boys. The Bodzentyn community allocated periodic subsidies of 250 zlotys per year[1.2]. One of the teachers at that school was Herszel Hopenhajm. Starting from 1935, girls had the opportunity to attend the “Beit Yakov” religious school. Nechama Bursztyn worked as a teacher there and received an annual salary of 600 zlotys from the board of the Bodzentyn community. Additionally, the municipality supported the school with a subsidy of 400 zlotys[1.3].

Adult education was taken care of by the Society for Evening Courses for Workers, which also organised a library and a reading room[1.4]. Religious courses for girls were also organised by a branch of “Agudat Israel” (a political party), headed by Mayer Shpiro.
