Did Barron Trump attend private schools or receive homeschooling?

1. Early education: Manhattan private school roots

Barron’s childhood schooling began in New York City at Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School, an independent private school where his family lived much of the time during his early years ^[1]. Multiple profiles note Columbia Grammar as the starting point of his formal education; reporting emphasizes the school’s costly tuition and long-standing private status rather than any public-school attendance ^[1].

2. A move with a presidency: St. Andrew’s Episcopal during the first term

When Donald Trump won the 2016 election and the family’s living pattern shifted, Barron attended St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Potomac, Maryland — another private institution — as media coverage framed the move as part of minimizing disruption to his schooling while his father was in office ^[1]. Coverage highlights the private-school continuity rather than a transition to public or home-based instruction ^[1].

3. Florida chapter: Oxbridge Academy for high school and graduation

After the 2020 campaign cycle, Barron enrolled at Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, where he completed his high school diploma in May 2024 and graduated ^{[1] [2]}. News accounts cite Oxbridge as his high school and give details about tuition and college-placement claims associated with that private institution ^[1].

4. College: NYU enrollment and on-campus presence

Barron enrolled at New York University’s Stern School of Business in September 2024 for his undergraduate studies and completed a freshman year there; later reporting places him as a sophomore at NYU with some indication of transfer activity to NYU’s Washington, D.C., campus for his second year ^{[3] [4] [5]}. Multiple outlets report he lived at Trump Tower while attending NYU in Manhattan during his freshman year ^{[6] [4]}.

5. Homeschooling claims: what the available reporting does and does not say

The set of sources provided consistently documents attendance at private day schools and then NYU, with explicit references to Columbia Grammar, St. Andrew’s, Oxbridge Academy and NYU ^{[1] [2] [3]}. None of these sources report that Barron was homeschooled for any significant period; therefore, assertions that he was homeschooled are not supported by the available reporting (available sources do not mention homeschooling).

6. Why private schooling mattered in coverage

Coverage repeatedly notes private-school names and costs (for example, tuition figures cited in profiles), reflecting both the family’s resources and journalists’ interest in institutions that serve children of prominent families ^[1]. That emphasis helps explain why reporters track specific enrollments and graduations rather than generic descriptions like “privately educated” or “homeschooled” ^[1].

7. Areas of disagreement, open questions and limits of reporting

Some items remain imprecise in the available corpus: later reports discuss a transfer to NYU’s Washington, D.C., campus and note Barron’s movements between New York, Florida and Washington, but they don’t detail daily schooling arrangements or whether short-term tutoring took place while Secret Service protection affected logistics ^{[4] [7]}. The sources do not address any intermittent, informal tutoring or brief remote study that might have occurred; those possibilities are therefore unreported here (available sources do not mention short-term tutoring or remote study beyond standard enrollment).

8. Bottom line for the question asked

Based on the reporting provided, Barron Trump attended private day schools (Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School, St. Andrew’s Episcopal School, Oxbridge Academy) for his K–12 education and then matriculated at NYU in 2024; the supplied sources do not support a claim that he was homeschooled ^{[1] [2] [3]}. If you want confirmation about any short periods away from campus or private tutoring during transitions, follow-up reporting or primary statements from the family or schools would be required; those specifics are not in the current set of articles (available sources do not mention those specifics).
