Walt Disney attended Benton Grammar Elementary School in Chicago when he was around six years old. He enrolled there in 1910, shortly after moving to the city with his family. Disney's early experiences in school, including his interest in drawing and storytelling, would later influence his career in animation and entertainment.
Walt Disney attended the Benton Grammar School in Kansas City, KS from 1911-1917 and McKinley High School in Chicago, IL from 1917-1918. In 1918 he dropped out with hopes of joining the army but joined the Red Cross instead. He never graduated high school or attended college.
There are thirteen schools named after Walt Disney. Twelve of them are elementary schools; the last one is grades K-8.Walt Disney Elementary School - Anaheim, CAWalt Disney Elementary School - Burbank, CAWalt Disney Elementary School - San Ramon, CAWalt Disney Elementary School - Mishawaka, INWalt Disney Elementary School - Clinton Township, MIWalt Disney Elementary School - Marceline, MOWalt Disney Elementary School - Springfield, MOWalt Disney Elementary School - Omaha, NEWalt Disney Elementary School - Rochester, NYWalt Disney Elementary School - Tulsa, OKWalt Disney Elementary School - Levittown, PAWalt Disney Elementary School - Alvin, TXWalt Disney Magnet School, Grades K-8 - Chicago, IL

When the Disney family moved to Marceline, Missouri when Walt was very young, Walt lived his early years carefree. Unfortunately, not much is known of where Walt went to school during this time. Later on, Walt attended Benton Grammar School in Kansas City, Missouri, with his sister, Ruth. After transitioning from elementary/middle school to high school, Walt attended McKinley High School in Chicago, Illinois for a few years. During this time, Walt also took night classes at the Chicago Art Institute (he also attended Kansas City Art Institute during his middle school years as extra). A few years into his high school career, Walt became interested in World War I, even going on to drop out of school to volunteer for service (he was rejected for being too young). After he was rejected, Walt did not attend a college, but went on to create and work on animation and movies -"This question has been researched, and may have some indirect material from another source"-

Well, sweetheart, Disney attended the Chicago Art Institute for a while. But if you're talking about the big kahuna, the Walt Disney Studios, that's the place where all the magic happened. So, take your pick, darling.

Walt and his younger sister Ruth attended the Benton Grammar School where he met Walter Pfeiffer. The Pfeiffers were theatre aficionados, and introduced Walt to the world of vaudeville and motion pictures. Soon, Walt was spending more time at the Pfeiffers' than at home. During this time he attended Saturday courses as a child at the Kansas City Art Institute. While they were living in Kansas City, Walt and Ruth Disney were also regular visitors of Electric Park, 15 blocks from their home (Disney would later acknowledge the amusement park as a major influence of his design of Disneyland).
