Recent high school graduate Suborno Isaac Bari, 12, plans to start studying math and physics at New York University in the fall. “I hope to graduate college at 14 in spring 2026,” said Suborno, who recently became the youngest graduate from his Long Island high school. The gifted tween, who memorized the periodic table at 2 years old and has taught lectures at colleges in India since he was 7, graduated on Wednesday from Malverne High School in Nassau County, New York. The bright young student, whose family says he’s also skilled in painting, debate and playing the piano, could also be making history at NYU when he begins pursuing his bachelor of science degree. A university spokesperson informed the Bari family “NYU is unaware of anyone younger than Suborno being admitted,” according to a copy of an email shared with CNN. In 2016, then-President Barack Obama sent Suborno a letter praising the bright student for his hard work and accomplishments. The family shared a copy of the letter with CNN. In 2020 when he was 7, Suborno began receiving invitations from colleges in India to teach, which he does three times a year. “That gives him lots of chances to have conversations with different levels of expertise, students, faculties, college presidents, so many people,” [father] Rashidul Bari said. Suborno plans to continue his family’s trend of teaching by one day becoming a math and physics professor.
