Scholar Then Athlete
We have been “home-schooling” Freddie since 2022. He studies privately with former teachers and has written 3 / 4 GED exams while at the Grade 10 level in terms of age.
By March 2024 Freddie can demonstrate to any high school that for grade 12 attendance he is already college ready in terms of GED.
Have no doubt that Freddie understands that education comes first, and that playing golf is a privilege and a result of maintaining a high academic focus and achievement.
Our goal as a family is to now have Freddie finish high school back in a formal education setting for 1 academic year: Fall 2024 and Winter 2025 followed by College in Fall 2025.
Freddie has a strong focus on not only golf, but also fitness, nutrition, is highly independent, enjoys cooking, and taking care of his pets (3 cats, 1 dog and 3 birds ;-))
