Did Jesus growup around a major seminary while in Nazareth?

Q: Did Jesus grow up around a major seminary while in Nazareth?

A: Towns of any size each had their own synagogue where the people came to worship and to study and where male children went to school. Jesus grew up in the small town of Nazareth; it had its own synagogue; Jesus studied the scriptures and later on on occasion taught there. The only major place for study would have been in Jerusalem, some distance away from Nazareth.

There has always been conjecture regarding where Jesus learned his special knowledge, how he became the pivotal historical figure. The Urantia Book makes it clear that the study of scriptures fueled Jesus' thinking processes and helped to occupy his conscious mind with positive images and thoughts but that there were no external sources that made Jesus who he was. There was no special knowledge imparted to him, no mystery schools disclosing hidden meanings, but rather his was a normal mind focused on the teachings of the religious scholars available to anyone at that time.

You can read some of what The Urantia Book has to tell about Jesus' early training here 123:3.1 and here 123:5.1
