According to a report by Inquisitr on Wednesday, December 6, 2023, Barron Trump, the 15-year-old son of former President Donald Trump and Melania Trump, has been enrolled in the prestigious Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, near the family’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
Barron will be attending Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, which costs yearly $34,800. A spokesperson of the elite school announced that Trump’s youngest son joined their esteemed institution as part of the class of 2024, per PEOPLE. The school’s Director of Advancement, Scott Siegfried, said, “We look forward to welcoming him into our school and community.”
Siegfried said for the first time, their school would witness a student who would accompany the Secret Service. “They want to have little impact on our day-to-day operations,” informed the director. They’ve done this for other former presidents’ kids. They’re fantastic,” as reported by The Palm Beach Post.

They’ve done this for other former presidents’ kids. They’re fantastic,” as reported by The Palm Beach Post.
Consequently, the school’s administration sent e-mails to other students’ parents, giving a heads-up of Barron’s enrollment with their permission. “A small contingent of (Secret Service) agents will be present during each school day,” wrote the school’s head, Ralph Mauer.
He continued, “We are working directly with the Secret Service to ensure that logistics and security work smoothly and discreetly with little impact on students, faculty, staff, or day-to-day operations.” According to Siegfried, the feedback they received from some parents so far has been positive.
The academic institution was founded in 2011 by billionaire Bill Koch, the brother of Charles and the late David Koch from the family of Koch Industries. The school has students from America’s most influential families. However, they haven’t experienced a student with secret agents.
Previously, Barron attended St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Potomac, Maryland. He was the first presidential child there because traditionally, such kids attend Sidwell Friends, a Quaker school in Bethesda, Maryland, and Washington, D.C., founded in 1883, per The List.
Why did the former first couple choose Oxbridge for Barron? Well, because after Trump’s loss in the 2020 elections, the family moved to Florida. Although they own many properties, they opted for West Palm Beach, the Republican candidate’s (in)famous Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
While the GOP front-runner had been busy with political activities, his wife, Melania, divided her time between traveling to support her husband and maintaining her schedule. A source said, “Donald is fine with that as long as she is satisfied, leaves him alone, and makes appearances when needed.”
The insider continued, “Melania is happiest with her family members, including her son. She is not dumb; she knows how to handle her life to make it as fulfilling for her as possible.” As far as Barron is concerned, he is used to a luxurious lifestyle and prefers a three-piece suit instead of sweatpants.
And like his father, he enjoys plane and helicopter rides and often goes golfing
