Barron Trump can now consider himself a high school graduate. The 18-year-old graduated from Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach on May 17, but where he will enrol at college is yet to be determined. His parents, Donald and Melania Trump, attended the graduation. Though, while it was an important milestone, it’s said that his father didn’t stay the entire day as he had a political event later that evening.
Donald Trump may be in the midst of his presidential campaign, but he is also on trial. The judge in the former president’s hush money trial allowed him to attend Barron’s graduation by not scheduling any hearings that day. Meanwhile, Melania has made sure to support her son regarding school work for years, but lately she has also made sure to protect him from the media.
What really goes on at the Trump Mar-a-Lago estate, we don’t know. However, we know that Melania has made it her primary occupation to shield Barron from everything negative that is going on with his father. Now, new details about his life at the Palm Beach mansion are coming to light. And it appears that Melania is controlling his every move.
Barron Trump and his family moved to the glorious Mar-a-Lago estate after leaving the White House in 2020. There, the youngest son of the former president enrolled at Oxbridge Academy for his high school years, and it’s safe to say that Barron, indeed, has had quite the time at Oxbridge.
Barron Trump
While there has been very quiet surrounding Barron at his school, how he’s performed, and what the school is like, last year, shocking news about him receiving death threats was made public.
In the middle of August, a Chicago woman was arrested over alleged threats to kill Donald Trump and Barron. The social studies teacher was arrested on a charge of transmitting threats to kill or injure the former president and his son.
It came just months after she had traveled to Florida to allegedly stalk Barron. The woman had been questioned by police in Palm Beach outside the Oxbridge Academy in March, the Chicago Tribune reported.
The Guardian reported that the death threat was sent in an email to the unidentified head of an educational institution in Palm Beach County, southern Florida, where Mar-a-Lago is located.
“I will state that I will shoot Donald Trump Sr AND Barron Trump straight in the face at any opportunity I get!” the woman wrote in an email in May.
As per CBS, a senior law enforcement official said the woman had been “on the U.S. Secret Service’s radar for several years.” Recently, the “nature of her threats escalated to become more specific.”
“Her family has expressed concern to law enforcement about her potential for violence,” a senior law enforcement official said. “She has struggled chronically with her mental health and recently reported stopping taking her prescribed medication.”
Barron Trump – graduation from Oxbridge Academy
The woman’s court-appointed attorney said, “She would never actually get close to Barron Trump because she’s afraid of him.”
The attorney added, “This is all a little wacky, but it doesn’t say that she’s a danger.”
Luckily, nothing happened, and Barron Trump could continue his education at Oxbridge Academy. On May 17, their time at the prestigious high school finally ended as the 18-year-old graduated.
Of course, as a father, Donald Trump wanted to attend his son’s graduation from Oxbridge Academy. However, as the former president is in the middle of his hush-money trial, he must be in attendance for all court proceedings.
A little over a month ago, after leaving the court, Trump attacked Judge Juan Marchan, claiming he wouldn’t let him attend Barron’s graduation.
“It looks like the judge will not let me go to the graduation of my son, who’s worked very, very hard, and he is a great student,” Trump stated. “It looks like the judge isn’t going to allow me to escape this scam. It’s a scam trial.”
But was that really true? As per NY Mag, Judge Merchan never banned Trump from attending his son’s high school graduation. To make things clear, the judge later granted the former president’s request – and Trump was in attendance to congratulate his youngest son.

While seeing his son graduate from high school is undoubtedly a big deal, Donald Trump has many other things on his mind—trials, court dates, lawsuits, and a presidential election.
Therefore, he didn’t stay the entire day with Barron Trump to celebrate his graduation. Later that night, the Minnesota Republican Party announced that Donald Trump would headline its annual Lincoln Reagan dinner.
Melania Trump’s plan for Barron
No matter what, Barron Trump certainly had a day he’ll never forget. When he received his diploma on stage, he appeared to have inherited his mother’s traits.
A video from the Oxbridge Academy graduation shows Barron Trump walking on stage. He then accepts the diploma with a handshake, walks down a ramp, and poses for another photo with what appear to be school officials.
However, even though it was a huge day, the former president’s son appeared not to be smiling. It’s common to see newly graduated students smile, throw their caps, or express joy in other ways on the big day. But his quiet approach gave the impression that he is just like Melania—reticent and not smiling in public.
Following his graduation, Melania Trump is doing all she can to guide him.
“He is still young and has a lot in front of him,” a source told the Daily Mail. “She wants him to be happy and settled in his future endeavors. She wants him to pursue what he wants to do. He is smart and has his own opinions but they are still being shaped.”
Barron Trump’s time at Oxbridge has come to an end. As a member of the Trump family, he will undoubtedly begin studying at college afterward, and according to the New York Times, Melania and Donald have been looking at colleges in New York. Donald Trump later confirmed that as he spoke with author Megyn Kelly.
In an interview in September last year, Donald Trump revealed new details about Barron Trump’s future.
Donald Trump reveals his son is a “great student”
Donald Trump then said that he and Melania were “looking into” the possibility of Barron attending the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
“He’s a good kid, he’s a good-looking kid. He’s a great student, very good student,” the former president added.
It might be a familiar school for those who know their Trump history. Donald and his children, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Tiffany Trump, have all graduated from the University of Pennsylvania.
Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump both graduated from the Wharton School. Tiffany Trump graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree, while Donald’s third son, Eric Trump, chose to attend Georgetown University.
“I went to the Wharton School of Finance, the toughest place to get into. I was a great student,” Donald Trump said previously, per AP News.
While it surely will be an excellent step for Barron Trump, his father has a complicated relationship with the Wharton School. As most of us know, Donald has his surname emblazoned across all his buildings, including hotels and skyscrapers. At Wharton, however, no building bears his name.
AP reported that school officials don’t like talking about the former president, so much so that a former pro-Trump student group previously had to be shut down.

Moreover, while the University of Pennsylvania’s bookstore has many books written by its alums, there is only one copy of Trump’s 1987 book The Art of the Deal.
“Perhaps the most important thing I learned at Wharton was not to be overly impressed by academic credentials… That degree doesn’t prove very much,” he wrote in The Art of the Deal.
Barron Trump has been protected by Melania Trump since he was a very young boy. During his time at the White House, he was rarely seen in public, and the former first lady did everything in her power to make sure he wasn’t affected by what was written about his father or approached by the media.
Melania Trump has continued her strategy of protecting her son at all costs.
In March 2023, a source told People Magazine that Melania has always been “very protective” of her only child.
“Melania’s friends are her family members. She is a doting mother to Barron and very protective of him. This is nothing new,” the source said, adding that Barron always has been a “first priority” for Melania.

New details about Barron’s life at Mar-a-Lago have come to light. A source told the Daily Mail that Melania has locked herself in a “tight” bubble behind the gates of the Palm Beach mansion.
“He’s so regal. He’s a little Melania,’ a source close to the couple told the Daily Mail.
Meanwhile, there are some things Melania can’t protect her son from. One of those things is Donald Trump talking about Barron in public.
Melania ‘not happy’ with her husband’s words on Barron
The Daily Mail source claims that she is fighting to keep Donald Trump from revealing things about her son because she is afraid it will spill into his private life.
Stephanie Grisham, who worked for Melania at the White House, told the Daily Mail that the former first lady “wasn’t happy” that Donald has spoken about Barron in the context of his trials.
“He talked about missing Barron’s graduation to the cameras and then again on Truth Social because it caused a lot of coverage about that, and it’s just not something she would have liked,” Grisham said.
