At the lycée in Rennes when he was 15, he led a group of boys who enjoyed poking fun at their well-meaning, but obese and incompetent physics teacher, a man named Hébert. At the age of 17 Jarry passed his baccalauréat and moved to Paris to prepare for admission to the École Normale Supérieure.
In 1894-1895 Alfred was the co-founder and co-director of journal L'Ymagier, then a founder and publisher at Perhinderion. In 1896 he served as an assistant to director of Theatre de 1’Oeuvre, and in 1900-1903 he was a columnist at La Revue Blanche.
