I have studied English in elementary school or I studied English in elementary school So, should I say I studied English at the elementary school, then high school and at the university OR should I say I have studied? I think it should be in past simple since we know when it was, in the past, during my elementary school days and i am not an elementary school student anymore? and it's finished even though I still might be studying it (outside of these institutions), but I'm referring to a certain point in the past? Thanks in advance.

Really 3 versions could be used, and to a native speaker all would be understood in context to mean 1 thing. The context ( your previous or following sentences) , more so than the tense you use, will determine what your real meaning is to a native speaker. But to be specific, simple past " studied" only if you are not studying English now. You can use 'had studied" because you are listing 3 instances taking place one after another, at different points in time. You can use "have studied" to be ambiguious about whether or not you are studying now.
