Yes, Shakespeare likely studied grammar, Latin, and possibly Greek as part of his education at the King's New School in Stratford-upon-Avon. The curriculum of the time emphasized classical languages and literature, which included grammar and rhetoric. While there is less evidence about his study of history and arithmetic, it is reasonable to assume he had some exposure to these subjects given their importance in a well-rounded education of that era. Religious education (re) would also have been part of his schooling, reflecting the significance of religion in Elizabethan society.

Shakespeare did in fact write about history, he also wrote about some mythology and he did write about fantasy. Whether you look at Henry V which is at Shakespeare's time a historical figure. Or about Greek Myths, or Egypt's Queen Cleopatra? Shakespeare did in fact write about history in the persona's of the figures of said history. He was not an historian of course he was a Playwright, however, his words were seen by hundreds, they told a story, just like the Greek Plays brought entertainment to the masses.
Shakespeare's plays contain many allusions to the standard textbooks used in grammar schools like the King's School in Stratford. According to Ben Jonson he had "small Latin and less Greek" which is more than the "no Latin or Greek" he would have had if he had never been to school.
