What was the high school of Thomas Jefferson?

Answer 1

He did not attend high school. At the time there was no such thing as "high school". Most boys were either apprenticed out to a tradesman to learn a trade, or learned their father's trade from him, or perhaps, if their families were wealthy enough, might be taught by private tutors.

He didn't. At the time there was no such thing as "high school". Most boys were either apprenticed out to a tradesman to learn a trade, or learned their father's trade from him, or perhaps, if their families were weathy enough, might be taught by private tutors.

In Jefferson's case, at about the age that most students today would start high school he began studying with the Reverend James Maury, who operated a small private school. At the age of 16, he left there to begin studies at the College of William and Mary, where he spent two more years finishing his studies there.

After leaving William and Mary, he read law while working for the lawyer (and law professor at William and Mary) George Wythe. Five years later he was admitted to the Virginia Bar.
