He's going to the University of Nevada on a full scholarship to get a bachelor's degree in history.
According to his mom Ru Andrade in an interview with Good Morning America, she first noticed her son was "advanced" when he requested to visit the White House for his fourth birthday.
"He was dead serious so I said, 'That's a big trip. If you want to go you're going to have to learn all the presidents,'" his mom jokingly said.
However, her mom was surprised for his 'confession', revealing that he already knew all the presidents, instead he will going to learn the 'vice presidents'.
Andrade decided to enroll Jack for homeschooling at aged 11 as he struggled with educational standard for teaching in his elementary years. Jack passed the bridge program for student's K-12 at Fullerton College and now completed 61 units in history, art and human expression, social behavior and social science.
