Jace King grew up in Tupelo, MS attending Tupelo High School and graduating near the top of his class. Tupelo High School is the only public high school in Tupelo, Mississippi. The campus consists of fourteen buildings, including a Performing Arts Center, separate buildings for social studies, English, math, sciences, fine arts, and a self-contained grade-9 building. 

After graduation he attended Millsaps College in Jackson, MS. Millsaps College is a private liberal arts college in Jackson, Mississippi. It was founded in 1890 and is affiliated with the United Methodist Church. The college was founded in 1889–90 by a Confederate veteran, Major Reuben Webster Millsaps, who donated the land for the college and $50,000. William Belton Murrah was the college's first president, and Bishop Charles Betts Galloway of the Methodist Episcopal Church South organized the college's early fund-raising efforts. Both men were honored with halls named in their honor. Major Millsaps and his wife are interred in a tomb near the center of campus. The current United Methodist Church continues to affiliate with the college.

At Millasaps Jace studied Maths and after receiving his degree he took employment at St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Jackson, MS working at the Ridgeland, MS campus. St. Andrew's Episcopal School is an independent, coeducational, preparatory day school serving more than 1,100 students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. Popular with his students Jace was twice voted Prom King but turned it down citing his dislike of monarchy.

After working for a time at St. Andrew’s Jace moved to Williamsburg, VA to take up work as a costumed historical tours guide while attending William & Mary College for an advanced degree in mathematics. He cites his work in Colonial Williamsburg as some of the most influential in his life. Colonial Williamsburg is a living-history museum and private foundation presenting a part of the historic district in the city of Williamsburg, Virginia. Its 301-acre (122 ha) historic area includes several hundred restored or recreated buildings from the 18th century, when the city was the capital of the Colony of Virginia; 17th-century, 19th-century, and Colonial Revival structures; and more recent reconstructions. The historic area includes three main thoroughfares and their connecting side streets that attempt to suggest the atmosphere and the circumstances of 18th-century Americans. Costumed employees work and dress as people did in the era, sometimes using colonial grammar and diction.

His studies at William & Mary enabled him to dive further into the mysteries of mathematics. The College of William & Mary[b] (abbreviated as W&M[8]) is a public research university in Williamsburg, Virginia, United States. Founded in 1693 under a royal charter issued by King William III and Queen Mary II, it is the second-oldest institution of higher education in the United States and the ninth-oldest in the English-speaking world.[9] It is classified among "R2: Doctoral Universities – High Research Activity".[10] In his 1985 book Public Ivies: A Guide to America's Best Public Undergraduate Colleges and Universities, Richard Moll included William & Mary as one of the original eight "Public Ivies". The university is among the original nine colonial colleges.
