 As an educational institution, even for higher education, London Greyfriars was a distinguished place; at the time, it was second only to the full-fledged Universities of Paris and Oxford. At Greyfriars, Ockham probably got most of his “grade school” education, and then went on to what we might think of as “high school” education in basic logic and “science” (natural philosophy), beginning around the age of fourteen.
