Barron Trump finally graduated on Friday from Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida, where his parents, Donald Trump and Melania Trump, were also seen cheering on their son.
Former President Trump was allowed to attend the exclusive Oxbridge Academy ceremony because the judge did not set up court on Friday.
The billionaire faces criminal charges related to an alleged payment he paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels in 2016 for a sexual encounter they had in 2006.
Trump will face trial again on Monday.
Area authorities and police prepared for the former president's arrival with police snipers and highway patrols.
Barron Trump, who turned 18 this year, was seen wearing a dark suit, white shirt and blue tie. Barron sat with his mother Melania, who wore a navy jacket and straw hat for the ceremony. The former first lady was accompanied by her father, Viktor Knavs.
From the beginning, Melania has kept her son out of the public eye in an attempt to give the 6-foot-7-inch-tall Barron a normal life.
The ceremony began with the school choir performing America The Beautiful. The master of ceremonies began by welcoming the parents and graduates.
“A visibly proud Donald Trump appeared to revel in his son's rite of passage, chatting animatedly with a smiling Melania, applauding and waving to the graduates, and giving them his signature thumbs up as the ceremony concluded,” according to the outlet.
