12-year-old Suborno Bari has graduated from high school, completing just grades 10 and 12 when all was said and done, skipping 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, and 11th grades in the process.

He is the youngest-ever scholar to graduate from Malverne High School in Malverne, New York, but despite his stratospheric intelligence, he says his peers have always embraced him.

Suborno’s family designed his education so that he would spend the majority of school hours socializing with kids his age to ensure he developed like everyone else. He might spend the morning taking core classes at an 8th-grade level in the local middle school, and then hop on a bus and spend the rest of the school day in the 5th-grade classroom on electives and after-school activities.

Rebecca Gottesman, the director of K-12 school counseling at Malverne Union Free School District said she first met Suborno in 4th grade, and that even after 25 years in education, he was the most impressive student she had ever seen.

“Every year, school counselors are asked on behalf of the students that are applying to these colleges to answer the question, ‘Is this one of the most exceptional students that you’ve ever seen in your career?’ … and I can say without any doubt that Suborno is the most exceptional student I’ve ever met academically,” Gottesman told ABC’s ‘Good Morning America.‘ “He’s really a prodigy.”

The young man said that even though other students were aware of his talents, they always treated him like he was just another friendly face, like any other student.

Scoring 1500 on the SAT, 34 on the ACT, and taking 5 AP classes, Suborno said he’s ready for college.

In the late summer, he’ll be heading off to New York University on a scholarship where he hopes to double major in physics and math—but not for the reasons you might think.

“Many people are doing it only because their parents said so or because engineers just make the most profit, not because they actually love what they’re doing. So I hope to fix that and help other people understand math and science and love it in all its beauty,” Suborno said.
