Because Hogwarts is their only school. It's not in addition to some sort of normal school. Notice they also have classes like "Arithmancy" that probably teach basic math skills along with the spells. One wonders if tensors come into play at any point.
So along with the magic they need to learn the Three R's, but such things seem well integrated into the general curriculum.
Or I could be over analyzing.
At least it isn't pirate school. There they'd need to learn the Three "Arrrs".
