Since Trump left the presidency of the United States, in addition to Trump himself, who has been active in the media, members of the Trump family, including former first lady Melania and media darling Ivanka, seem to have disappeared from social media and rarely appeared, let alone Trump's youngest son, Barron, who is only 15 years old.
But while Melania began to become more and more privacy-conscious, the paparazzi who saw the stitches caught her and barron, who was 2.01 meters tall, appear at a new York mall in July, the first time she was photographed going out with Barron since her husband left office in January, and the media and netizens speculated that she was preparing school supplies for Barron, who was about to attend a private high school.
Sure enough, earlier this week, Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach County, Florida, issued a brief statement announcing that Barron had become a student in the school's class of 2024, according to US media reports on August 21. A spokesman for the Trump family confirmed the news to People magazine, but did not comment further.
Founded in 2011 by billionaire William Koch, Tsubashi School is interestingly the brother of Republican super-donors Charles Koch and David Koch and a former fundraiser for the Trump campaign. According to the information on its website, the tuition fee of Tsubashi School for the 2021-2022 academic year is $34,800.
Although Tsubashi School has only a short history of 10 years, it is known as "Little Oxford" and "Little Cambridge", and its name itself is derived from "Oxford" and "Cambridge". Located in the famous Palm Beach, the school covers an area of 54 acres (about 220,000 square meters) with nearly 200,000 square meters of teaching facilities.
Tsubashi School was founded to cultivate future-oriented students, "to cultivate teamwork skills, creativity and imagination, critical thinking skills and problem-solving skills." There are 200 academic programs, 75 elective courses, 41 student individual studies, 9 major art majors and more than 30 student societies. The school also specializes in aviation, and graduates are issued with a flight license.
In addition, the ratio of teachers and students in Jinqiao School is 9:1, and there are 13 people teaching in small classes, and all teachers have master's degree or above. Tsubashi School spokesman Scott Siegfried told the Palm Beach Post that they look forward to welcoming Barron to their school and community, which will be the school's first dealings with the Secret Service, but the Secret Service will not have much impact on the day-to-day operations of the school.
The statement suggests that former first lady Melania will spend her high school years with Barron in South Florida, in fact, she and Barron and her husband have been living at Mar-a-Lago Club there, where the Trump family allegedly moved to their private luxury estate earlier this year instead of returning to New York.
