William Shakespeare attended Kings New School in Stratford-upon-Avon, where he would have studied Latin Grammar and Classics.
Classics means the study of the art, literature and culture of the Ancient Mediterranean countries, in particular Ancient Greece and ancient Rome.
The primary curriculum at the grammar school which Shakespeare probably attended (although we have no certain evidence where he went to school) was Latin. Penmanship was also important. Latin studies involved reading and writing in Latin, and the study of rhetorical devices as found in classic authors like Cicero or Plutarch. Translation was also a part of the study which meant that the students also had to read and write English. Ben Jonson's famous "little Latin and less Greek" comment suggests that Shakespeare had at least some Greek.
Students would be obliged to sit on hard wooden benches for 12 hours a day, six days a week, memorizing Latin and repeating the texts they had learned. If they made a mistake, they were beaten.
The course of study was suggested by the medieval division of knowledge into seven divisions: the trivium of Grammar, Rhetoric and Logic (the first two of which would have formed the bulk of the work) and the quadrivium of Arithmetic, Geometry, Music and Astronomy. Possibly some mathematical studies might have been introduced; history and geography, except as they might accidentally appear in the Latin texts being studied, were not considered proper fields of study.
Studied Latin, mostly--translating and reading classic Latin texts (some of which he later used as the basis of his plays).
