US first lady picks local school for son
Print Edition
BARRON Trump, the 11-year-old son of President Donald Trump and Melania Trump, will attend a private Episcopal school in Maryland, beginning in the autumn.
The announcement answered one of the lingering questions surrounding the first family’s living arrangements. The first lady and Barron have been living at Trump Tower in New York since Trump took office in January, while the president has lived at the White House.
Trump has said his wife and youngest child will relocate to the White House after the current school year ends, which meant finding a local school.
They have chosen St Andrew’s Episcopal School in Potomac, Maryland, for their son.
“It is known for its diverse community and commitment to academic excellence,” the first lady said in a statement. “The mission of St Andrew’s is ‘to know and inspire each child in an inclusive community dedicated to exceptional teaching, learning, and service,’ all of which appealed to our family.”
Annual tuition ranges from around US$23,000 to more than US$40,000.
Founded in 1978, St Andrew’s, a day school, has a total of 580 students in prekindergarten through 12th grade, according to its website. Class sizes are small, with anywhere from 11 to 13 students, and all of its graduates go on to college.
“As we came to know Barron through the admission process, it became clear that he, like all of our newly enrolled students, will be a great addition to St Andrew’s,” school administrators wrote to parents.
They said the school was working with the Secret Service to ensure “logistics and security will continue to work smoothly and discreetly next year for all of our students and families.”
