Jennifer Garner was born in Houston, Texas, the daughter of Patricia Ann (née English), an English teacher from Oklahoma, and William John Garner, a chemical engineer who worked for Union Carbide in Texas.
Jennifer Garner is the middle child between two sisters, Melissa Garner Wylie (born 1969, resides in Boston, Massachusetts) and Susannah Kay Garner Carpenter (born January 24, 1975 in Texas, resides in Charleston, West Virginia). Her family is Methodist. At three years old, Jennifer Garner began taking ballet lessons which she continued throughout her youth. Although she admitted that she loved dancing, she never had ambitions to become a classical ballerina. When Garner was four years old, her father's job with Union Carbide relocated her family to Princeton, West Virginia, then to Charleston, West Virginia, where Garner resided until her college years.
Garner's Education
In 1990, Jennifer Garner graduated from George Washington High School in Charleston, where Garner played the saxophone. Jennifer Garner then enrolled at Denison University to study chemistry. Upon realizing that Jennifer Garner enjoyed stage acting more than science, Garner changed her major to drama. While at Denison, Garner was initiated into the sorority Pi Beta Phi.
Jennifer Garner graduated from Denison in 1994 and continued her drama education at the National Theater Institute in Waterford, Connecticut where she was trained by fight choreographer David Chandler, and told she was a natural in stage combat.
Keen for immediate experience, Jennifer Garner visited her friend, Clayton Kirlew, in New York City in 1995 and decided to take her chances in New York theatre.
