Where, Oh Where, Will Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner Send Their Kids?

The Javankening is coming to Florida. The couple is reportedly buying a whole plot of land some 60 miles, as the Google Maps flies, from Mar-a-Lago. It’s situated on a place called Indian Creek Island, and they’re allegedly spending many, many millions on the ground on which their “bunker” home will be built. 

What naturally follows is speculation around where the Kushner kids will have their education. It’s the ultimate blood sport, the Olympics of expensive parenthood, the messy, dirty business of educating one’s child alongside the impossibly rich. Trump’s parents did it. Boy, did Kushner’s parents do it. And now they will continue to do it for their children, except, possibly, in Florida rather than New York. 

At least one area person got 10 texts about the school hunt for the three Kushner kids, per Page Six’s Oli Coleman. Here is a frantic rundown about “good” schools and their distance from the couple’s future home, courtesy of what Coleman describes as “a Miami parent on the social scene”: 

The closest good Jewish school to where they bought their land is Lehrman, which is about five minutes away. Otherwise, Ransom Everglades, which would be far for them, Miami Country Day—which is about 15 minutes—and Cushman are all very good private schools. Pinecrest is a very good school, but super far. If they are going Jewish and plan to in the meantime rent or live in that area near where they are building the house, I bet Lehrman.

This report mirrors a recent one about Melania Trump doing the same thing, shopping around for her own son, who will once again have to be the new kid at school if they decide to make their home base in Florida, as is prophesied. 

Why Florida? Well, that is for their hearts to know and for anonymous sources to speculate about. Like, it stands to reason that New York is looking pretty icy at the moment, and not just because it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. As a former acquaintance of the couple’s told Vanity Fair’s Emily Jane Fox recently, “They will probably be welcomed by real estate types and…Palm Beach families that read about themselves in Quest magazine but don’t matter.” Might as well cut out the middle man and go straight to the greater Palm Beach area.
