He didn't. This has been a thorn in the sides of certain people for centuries, starting with Greene calling him an "upstart crow" in 1592. (Greene and many of the other playwrights of the time, including Marlowe, were University Men) Some people insist that Shakespeare couldn't have written his plays because he hadn't been to University, and so couldn't be smart enough to know the things he knew.

Did Shakespeare graduate high school?

As there was no such thing as "high school" back in Shakespeare's time, it is certain that he did not "graduate". However, Shakespeare did attend Stratford grammar school from the time when he was 6 or 7 until 13. His father pulled him out of school at age 13. Yet that isn't to say that Shakespeare was later self taught and learned by other means.

What was William Shakespeare secondary school?

There probably is at least one William Shakespeare secondary school somewhere in the word, but I suspect you want to know what secondary school Shakespeare attended. Well, it was at that time called the King's New School, but is now called King Edward VI School and is still a going concern. You could even attend it if you are a boy of the right age and you pass the entrance exam.


What age did William Shakespeare go to school?

We cannot be absolutely sure whether or not Shakespeare attended grammar school, as they did not keep records of such things. It seems reasonably plausible that he did attend grammar school in which case he would have started at the age of five or six. Maybe.

Shakespeare went to the Stratford Grammar School (called King Edward VI School nowadays, then called the King's New School) at around age 6 or 7. There may have been some rudimentary instruction in letters, divinity etc. at a "Dame School", a kind of home school run by local women.

When did Shakespeare graduate?

It is not entirely clear that he ever graduated from anywhere. Many scholars think that he was able to attend school because he had a scholarship due to his father being on the Town Council. When John Shakespeare ran into a difficult financial period, he could no longer afford to be on the council and so Will lost his scholarship and could not afford to finish school.


Which school was named after William Shakespeare?

William Shakespeare School.


What high school did Shakespeare graduate from?

The school Shakespeare probably studied at, called the King's New School, or more recently King Edward VI School, was what they called a Grammar School. I say "probably" studied at because all the school records from that period have disappeared, including any indication whether Shakespeare graduated or not. However, he would have had a scholarship to attend it while his father was an alderman which makes it reasonable that he did so. Besides, he had a great command of the Grammar School curriculum.
