Education and Early Life
Born in South Africa, Strauss moved to England at the age of six. First playing cricket in Australia for Caulfield Grammar School, an independent school in the South East coastal city of Melbourne, Strauss came back to England and was educated at two independent schools in Southern England: first at Caldicott School, a boys' prep school near the village of Farnham Royal in Buckinghamshire, followed by Radley College, a boys' senior school near the village of Radley in Oxfordshire and, between 1995 and 1998, at Hatfield College at the University of Durham in the City of Durham in North East England, where he read Economics, writing a dissertation on supermodular games and receiving a 2:1 degree.

Famous quotes containing the words education, early and/or life:
“Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment. The system of universal education is in our age the most prominent and salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the schools be made by the people the center of the day’s demonstration. Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“...he came towards them early in the morning, walking on the sea.”
—Bible: New Testament, Mark 6:48.
“The record of one’s life must needs prove more interesting to him who writes it than to him who reads what has been written.
“I have no name:
“I am but two days old.”
What shall I call thee?
“I happy am,
“Joy is my name.”
Sweet joy befall thee!”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
