Did Meriwether Lewis and William Clark go to school?

William Clark did not have any formal education, but instead was tutored at home. Because of his lack of proper education, he would later become self-conscious of his almost constant misspellings in his writing.

From age thirteen to eighteen Lewis attended local school taught by ministers in Virginia. One of these was Parson Matthew Maury, who was a son of Charles Goodyear Maury who was Thomas Jefferson's teacher for two years. In 1793, Lewis graduated from Liberty Hall (now Washington and Lee University).
