The Benjamin School in Florida is kinda going viral.

The Benjamin Buccaneers soccer team won the state championship match on March 1, 2025, and golf legend Tiger Woods was in the stands cheering for his daughter, Sam Alexis Woods. His “proud papa bear” moment was captured on video and photos (see coverage from the Palm Beach Post) and inspired many a TikTok and Instagram Reel.

The 17-year-old Sam Alexis Woods is set to graduate this year from the Benjamin School in Palm Beach County, Florida.

However, she’s not the only celebrity Benjamin Buccaneer: Younger brother Charlie Woods and Kai Trump, who both aspire to play golf professionally, attend the Benjamin School.

Below is info about the elite Florida school where Kai Trump and Charlie Woods play golf, the tie between Trump’s family and Woods’ father, one of the most famous golfers of all time.

Sam Alexis Woods was born June 18, 2007, to golf legend Tiger Woods and former model Elin Nordegren. She’s a senior at the Benjamin School in Palm Beach County, Florida. In news interviews, Sam Alexis Woods has mentioned avoiding a professional career in golf because as a child, the tournaments meant long absences away from her father. Her choice sport has been soccer.

Charlie Axel Woods, son of Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren, also attends and plays golf at the Benjamin School. Born Feb. 8, 2009, in Florida, Charlie Woods helped his varsity golf team win a state title when he was a freshman. In December 2024, a then-15-year-old Charlie Woods hit a hole-in-one at the PNC Championship, and his father was there to see it. Tiger Woods and Charlie Woods sometimes play golf tournaments together.

Who is Kai Madison Trump? Where does Kai Trump go to school in Florida?

Kai Trump was born and mostly raised in New York, but now lives in Jupiter with her mom.

During the Republican National Convention in July 2024, Donald Trump’s oldest granddaughter, Kai Madison Trump, became the first of his grandchildren to talk about what it’s like to have one of the most famous people in the world as a grandfather. In her speech, Kai Trump mostly focused on the side of Trump that no one sees, calling him a “normal grandpa.” She is the daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and his ex-wife Vanessa Trump. She has four siblings: Donald Trump III, Tristan Milos Trump, Spencer Trump and Chloe Sophia Trump.

Kai Trump attends high school at The Benjamin School in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, and will graduate in spring 2026. In fall 2024, Kai Trump had committed early to stay in Florida and play golf at the University of Miami after high school graduation.

The Benjamin School’s elementary and middle school campus is in North Palm Beach on Ellison Wilson Road, appropriately located near Golfview Road and wedged between two golf courses.

The Benjamin School’s high school campus, where Kai and Charlie Woods attend school, is in Palm Beach Gardens, on Grandiflora Road, not far from Abacoa Golf Club.

What is the tuition at the Benjamin School in Florida, where kids of Tiger Woods, Donald Trump Jr. attend?

According to the school’s website, one year of tuition for 9th through 12th grade is $37,200 for the 2024-25 school year. 

Who is the founder of the Benjamin School in Florida?

The founders of The Benjamin School, Marshall and Nancy Benjamin, were a Michigan couple (both teachers) who moved to South Florida in the 1950s.

Shortly after moving to Florida, they opened up a private school near Palm Beach International Airport, which filled with students within two years of opening, according to Nancy Benjamin’s obituary.

“After a two-year stint traveling and teaching on a military base in Africa, the couple returned to Palm Beach County in 1956. They taught in the public school system,” The Palm Beach Post’s obituary says. “The two teachers from Royal Oak, Michigan, bought a parcel of land in 1960 with two old houses that became North Palm Beach Private School for pre-K students to sixth grade.”

That private school then became the Benjamin School, which probably attracts golfers because of its location – just under a 20-minute car ride away from Jupiter, where many famous golfers live.
