A 12-year-old Indian-origin boy is set to make history by becoming the youngest boy on Long Island to graduate from high school. Suborno Bari, who has written two books and also lectured at a university in India, is going to study mathematics and physics at New York University (NYU).
Suborno Bari will become the youngest student to graduate from a Long Island high school next week, according to the New York Post.
Bari is a prodigy who skipped from fourth grade to eighth grade, and then ninth to twelfth grade, making him the youngest student to graduate from Malvern High School, ABC 7 reports.
He will be attending NYU with a full scholarship and will study physics and math. “It’s just great visualizations, fascinating graphs and diagrams, and especially being able to understand the message behind it,” Bari told ABC7.
Suborno Bari, of Lynbrook, has written two books and taught at an Indian Institute. He is set to receive his diploma from Malvern High School on June 26.
“Yeah, it’s really exciting,” he told ABC7.
This young genius student scored 1,500 on the SAT at the age of 11.

“We’ve put some of the smartest kids in these halls and sent some of them to Princeton and Harvard. We’ve sent some of the best students to some of the best schools, and Suborno is a unique case,” his chemistry teacher, Patrick Nolan, told ABC7.
,[I want] “My goal is to help people around the world understand math and science,” he said. “My goal is to become a professor and help people who need good resources.”
He has taught science to other students before. “When I took the chemistry Regents exam, I talked to him about it, he said it was the easiest thing ever, and I was struggling with it,” junior Camryn Jax said. “It was just crazy.”
He also received a signed letter from former President Barack Obama on his fourth birthday. “We were wondering how President Obama found out about Suborno,” Suborno’s father, Rashidul Bari, said.
“He was always one step ahead and then I spoke to my husband and said he is different. He is not like other children,” his mother, Shaheda Bari, said.
This brilliant child had written a book called ‘The Love’ at the age of seven, in which he imagined a world without terrorism and taught physics at Mumbai University.
He has also received praise from Harvard University for his “problem-solving” skills and is part of New York City’s Gifted and Talented program. He also studied at Stony Brook University.
