There are no records of Shakespeare having ever attended any classes taught by Ben Jonson. As a matter of fact, there are no records that state that Jonson was ever a teacher and in fact he himself claimed that after he finished school he went into a trade, assumed to be bricklaying, his stepfather's business, until he got into the theatre business at about the same time that the Lord Chamberlain's Men were being formed. There is no evidence to suggest that Jonson ever went anywhere near Stratford.

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.

Did shakespeare attend classes taught by ben Johnson?

There is no record of the name of Shakespeare's teacher when he attended grammar school. He was certainly not taught by the Ben Johnson who was a Canadian sprinter. He was also certainly not taught by Ben Jonson (please note the spelling), the playwright, who was younger than Shakespeare.


What are agreed upon about Shakespeare he married and had children he attended classes taught by Ben Johnson he learned to write plays on a trip to Italy he was born in stratford?

Shakespeare was definitely born in Stratford, was married and had children. There is documentary evidence of all this. Jonson, although he held himself out as a great authority on pretty much everything was not only no better educated than Shakespeare but eight years younger. It is unlikely that Shakespeare would have been formally educated by him. It is also unlikely that Shakespeare went to Italy at all, and it is clear that his style is based on English playwrights (or ancient Roman ones) and not on contemporary Italian drama.

There is a great program you should also know about called Achieve Test Prep. This is a program where you can attend classes at one of their many nationwide campuses. Or you can attend virtual classrooms on line if you don't live close to a campus. All of the classes are taught by Rn's. They help you test out of the classes instead of taking them at college. This can shorten the time and money you will need to spend at college. You should look into their program.
