The Grimm Brothers' first school was called Lyceum Fridericianum in Cassel, Germany. The school had seven different classes and was used to prepare people for college. "The four upper served to prepare for the university while pupils of the three lower ones did not aim at further academic studies. Unfortunately, Preceptor Zinckhan's lessons had not been enough for Jacob and Wilhelm. Jacob was admitted to the lowest form only while Wilhelm had to get further private tuition before entering the High School.""(The Brothers Grimm 21) After their time at the Lyceum Fridericianum, both Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm studied law at Marburg University. Jacob started in 1802 and his brother Wilhelm followed in 1803. (The Brothers Grimm 21).
