Barron Trump, Donald Trump's youngest son, has enrolled at Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach,
Florida. According to People, the private school announced,
"We look forward to welcoming him into our school and community."
The school's Director of Advancement went on to tell The Palm Beach Post that this is
the first time the school has dealt with Secret Service, explaining,
"They want to have little impact on our day-to-day operations. They've done this for other former
presidents' kids. They're fantastic."
"Barron Trump. Did you ever hear of Barron Trump?"
Previously, Barron attended St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Potomac, Maryland. He was the first
presidential child to go there, as the tradition has been to go to Sidwell Friends, a Quaker
school located in Bethesda, Maryland, and in Washington, D.C., that was founded in 1883.
He is also into sports, and fluent in English and Slovene, since his mother, former First
Lady Melania Trump, is Slovenian.
The choice for Barron to attend Oxbridge Academy has to do with the fact that the Trump family
moved to Florida, after former President Donald Trump lost to President Joe Biden in the 2020
election. While they own a number of homes, they opted for West Palm Beach and, specifically,
Mar-a-Lago, a members-only club with 126 rooms, private beaches, tennis courts, and a 20,000-square-foot
ballroom. Trump bought the property in 1985.
During his time out of office, Trump has been busy challenging election results, writing
a book, dealing with a criminal investigation, launching 45Office.com, and making more public
appearances. After U.S. troops pulled out of Afghanistan and the Taliban took over,
Trump also said that President Biden should resign, and there have already been rumors
that Trump is open to running for presidency again in 2024.
Barron William Trump, born on March 20, 2006, is used to living a life of luxury. He prefers
a suit to sweatpants, and while living at New York's Trump Tower, he had a whole floor
to himself. Over the years, it has been said that he enjoys planes and helicopters, being
creative, and golfing, according to Biography.
When he was younger, Barron went to Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School in New York,
which is also where writer Herman Melville and actress Sarah Michelle Gellar went. Additionally,
he played for DC United and Arlington Soccer Association teams, but wasn't happy during
the pandemic, as he had to miss out on school and sports. There have even been rumors that
Barron reportedly has a secret video gaming profile, which states that he likes K-pop
and anime.
As for Barron's new school, according to People magazine, Oxbridge Academy was founded in
2011, by William "Bill" Koch. He estimates that he invested more than $75 million into
the academy and gives millions more each year. In fact, Oxbridge is Bill's way of giving
back, after Bill's father, Fred C. Koch, was able to go to MIT, thanks to generous funding
from a local businessman at the time. Per The Palm Beach Post.
"Oxbridge Academy and its groundbreaking need-based financial aid program is Mr. Koch's way of
repaying that act of kindness."
Bill himself graduated from MIT with a doctoral degree in chemical engineering and with honors
and then went on to serve on the boards of different schools. He says,
"Most schools are run for the benefit of the ruling elite or for the teachers union. They're
not for the benefit of the students. I put a motto in: Students come first, parents come
second, teachers and coaches come third, and support staff come last in terms of priority.
All are necessary."
Bill is the brother of Charles and David Koch, who are described as "Republican mega-donors."
In addition to starting Oxbridge Academy, Bill also founded Oxbow Corp., a petroleum
coke and sulphur products company, lives in Palm Beach, and is worth $1.9 billion, per
Forbes. In 2016, Charles and David were reportedly not sure about supporting Trump, but according
to Fortune, Bill, who is no longer part of Koch industries, hosted a fundraiser for the
then-presidential candidate.
"I appreciate the government very much because they made me wealthy."
15-year-old Barron Trump will be part of the class of 2024, and is attending Oxbridge Academy
for an annual tuition cost of $34,800, which will include meals, snacks, textbooks, learning
support services, and college counseling services.
