William Shakespeare likely attended Stratford’s grammar school, Kings New School, which emphasized a liberal arts education. The curriculum of grammar schools in Shakespeares time consisted of an intense emphasis on the Latin classics, including memorization, writing, and acting classic Latin plays. Latin was the mainstay of the curriculum, and students would have been versed in grammar, rhetoric, logic, astronomy, and arithmetic. Although there are no school records of Shakespeares education, it is likely that he studied Latin composition and the works of Latin authors like Seneca, Cicero, Ovid, Virgil, and Horace. Shakespeares education ended after grammar school, and he did not attend university.
