Charles babbage had a large variety of education. he went to many schools, and had multiple tutors. When he was only eight years old he was sent the alphington to recover from a fever. for a short time he attended "King edward grammar school." The reason he had so many tutors was because of his poor health. He was sick a lot, and always missed most of his school. He went to trinity college in October of 1810, and received an honorary degree without examination.
