Barron Trump’s time at his luxurious private school is soon to come to an end and his former president father has been discussing his son’s next steps as classmates reveal what the teen is really like.
The 17-year-old is currently attending the prestigious Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida, a high school that costs his parents a whopping $41,500 in fees and where students are required to come armed with their own MacBook Airs. The academy is surrounded by a stunning 54-acre plot of land and boasts an incredible array of sporting facilities, as well as an aviation program where students work towards getting their pilot’s license.
Barron is in 12th grade and set to graduate this summer, which has got Donald Trump and his wife Melania thinking about where their son will go next. The teen’s astonishing height - he towers over both of his parents at 2.06m - got a lot of people speculating over his potential sporting career. In an interview with former Fox News host Megyn Kelly, the former president hinted that his youngest child, who he described as a “good-looking kid”, may be set to follow in his footsteps.

Donald told Kelly that he and Melania are seriously considering the prospect of Barron attending the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, the same Ivy League university that three of his half-siblings studied, as well as his controversial father himself. With Wharton being an infamous destination for hopeful businessmen, will Barron be the new star of The Apprentice?
Before attending Oxbridge Academy, Barron studied at more of the most exclusive schools in America. He was a pupil at Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, where - during his final year - treated his entire fifth-grade class to a trip to the White House. The group of 80 students, along with teachers and Secret Service agents, went to Washington to pay his then-president dad a visit.

Over on TikTok, in the comments section of a video about Barron, one girl who claimed to go to Oxbridge Academy gave a glowing review of her classmate. "He's very nice," she wrote when asked what the teen was really like behind closed doors.
Also on TikTok, back in 2020, a girl claiming to have been in Barron’s class at Columbia Grammar, Maddie (@maddatitude), gave insight into what he was like as a young boy. In the video, she dances alongside a cute throwback snap of Barron and what appears to be her as a young girl and claims the White House allum was her first boyfriend.
“I went to school with Barron Trump, and he was my first “bf””, Maddie claims in the video. “When Trump was elected he brought the entire class to the White House.”
In the comment section, TikTokers were keen to know more about Barron. One asked: “Was he a good person????” to which the creator replied: “the best”. In the comments section, Maddie also said Barron was her “first kiss” and that she “did know him very well up until 5th grade”.
