That is a little hard to say. As a boy he attended what was called a grammar school. This was very different from what we today think of by that term, though. He would have been taught to read and write, and he would have spent most of his time reading, copying out and memorizing classic works of literature such as the works of Homer and Ovid. There would have been little, if any, training in Mathematics or Science. There might have been some history. Thus, by the time he left school he would have known more about literature and writing than most modern college graduates but less about many other subjects than most modern elementary school students. What he would have known though was how to read, how to look things up and how to think about what he read. Thus, again, he would have been in advance of many modern college graduates.
