As a child, C. S. Lewis was an avid reader, and his father furnished him with plenty of books. He was schooled by private tutors, before being sent in 1908, when he was 10, to Wynyard School in Watford, Hertfordshire. Due to lack of pupils, the school closed not long afterwards, and shortly after that the headmaster was committed to a psychiatric hospital.

Lewis then enrolled in Campell College in east Bellfast, a mile from his home. He left after a few months, due to respiratory problems, and was sent to the preparatory school: Cherbourg House, or as Lewis called it,"Chartres". It was located in Malvern, Worchestershire, a health-resort town.

Lewis attended Malvern College from Sept. of 1913 to June of 1914. Here, Lewis drifted away from Christianity, and called himself an athiest, though he was strongly interested in mythology (especially Irish) and the occult, and later stated that he had been "very angry with God for not existing".

After leaving Malvern, he studied under the tutilage of William T. Kirpatrick, Former headmaster of Lurgan College.

Under Kirpatrick, he developed a love for greek liturature and mythology, and sharpened his skills in sound reasoning and debate.

In 1916, Lewis was awarded a scholorship to University College, Oxford.

Lewis began his academic career as an undergraduate student at Oxford, but in 1917, he left his studies to voluntier in the British Army during World War I. He was wounded on April 15, 1918. Upon his recovery, he was assigned to Andover, England, and was discharged in December of the same year and soon returned to his studies Lewis received a First in Honour Moderations (Greek and Latin Liturature) in 1920, a First an Greats (Philosophy and Anscient History) in 1922, a First in English in 1923, and a triple first (the highest hounors in three areas of study). He was later appointed Lecturer of English Liturature ad Magdalen College in 1925, where he stayed until 1954. He later became the first Professor of Medieval and renaissance English at the University of Cambridge and a fellow of Magdalene College, Cambridge.
