Most tennis enthusiasts are familiar with the extensive list of achievements and records held by American professional Serena Williams. However, only a few are aware of her educational background to the same extent.

Despite this, there is a widespread belief that the 23-time Grand Slam champion did not pursue higher education. This assumption aligns with her early start in professional tennis at the age of 15. Nonetheless, rather than relying on speculation, let’s unravel the truth through a systematic exploration.

Where did Serena go to school?

Serena Williams started playing tennis at the age of 3, and it was even since the ultimate goal of her life. It was the same thing for her elder sister Venus Williams.

Therefore, their father, Richard Williams, decided to homeschool both of them and invest them entirely in the sport. He was also their primary coach of tennis until esteemed coach Rick Macci came into the picture.

However, shortly afterward, the Williams sisters enrolled at Driftwood Academy, a private school in Florida. Serena completed her high school education in the same year she clinched her first Grand Slam title, the 1999 US Open.

As they progressed in life, the sisters remained closely intertwined, seldom pursuing endeavors independently. Their partnership played a pivotal role in elevating the sport to unparalleled heights.

Now that we have established their attendance at a conventional school, the next question arises: Did they pursue higher education at college?

Did Serena Williams go to college?

The answer is yes. Serena Williams went to college at The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale in Florida; she studied fashion there. In fact, she even dragged Venus with her.

Following that, the soon-to-be mother of Olympia Jr. enrolled at the Isenberg School of Management at UMass Amherst to study Business Management. However, she later switched her major to Pre-Med.

Her subjects in Pre-Med were nutrition and holistic medicine. Conversely, Venus launched a plant-based diet company, Happy Viking, and a fashion company called ElevenbyVenus.

On the other hand, Serena founded a fashion company S by Serena, an investment firm, with many small other investments on the side. Apart from business and tennis, the Williams sisters are both vegan and inspiring role models for millions.
