Shakespeare probably attended
King Edward VI
Grammar School in Stratford
from the age of seven.
It was further endowed by a
Catholic chaplain in 1482.
It was free to male children in Stratford and
it is presumed that the young
Shakespeare attended,
although this cannot be confirmed because
the school's records have not survived.
While the quality of Elizabethan era
grammar school was uneven,
the school probably would have provided
an intensive education in Latin grammar
and literature.
As a part of this education,
the students would likely have
been exposed to Latin plays,
in which students performed to better
understand the language.
There is no evidence that he received
a university education.
