Joshua Beckford is a 14 year old boy who rose to the attention of the public as the child marvel who became the youngest person to study at Oxford University. Studying and gaining distinctions in Philosophy and History at just age 6, it is unlikely that Beckford’s record is going to be broken anytime in the foreseeable future. The youngest person to study at Oxford University is at least 2 years older than Beckford was when he made this exceptional achievement.
Beckford, who intends to become a neurosurgeon, taught himself how to operate complex surgical procedures using Microsoft Surgery Simulator. Beckford is competent in the correct usage of all instruments, and has flourished in operations such as: the removal of a cataract, the removal of a hernia, and the repairing of a leg fracture to name a few examples of his highly advanced accomplishments.
This young intellect is also talented in an array of other areas such as: art, Information Technology (I.T), sports and foreign languages. At the tender age of 2 years and 6 months, Beckford was already able to read eloquently using phonics and started to learn Japanese and some Mandarin.
In 2017, Beckford won Positive Role Model of the year at the National Diversity Awards, and The Illumination Foundation Of North Carolina (U.S.A) website ‘We the Spectrum’ recently placed him in the top 30 most extraordinary people in the world who have impacted society.
Joshua Beckford is an ambassador for Boys Mentoring Advocacy Network (BMAN), which is a non-governmental organization that mentors boys and male adolescents in schools within Africa. Within the organization, Beckford serves as Low Income Families Education (L.I.F.E) Support Ambassador for five countries; Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, South Africa and a sixth country the United Kingdom, where Joshua was born.

We at Dunia Collegiate want future scholars to make a positive change and impact in the society just as Joshua continues to do so.

Just as moretome3 said, be your child’s biggest cheerleader and watch them soar.

At just four years old, New Orleans native Anala Beevers possessed an IQ over 145. By 10 months old she could identify and point to each letter of the Alphabet. Reportedly by 18 months, Anala was reciting numbers in both Spanish and English and by her fifth birthday in 2014, she could recite the name of every North American state on the map, as well as every capital. The names of planets and dinosaurs are her current preoccupation.

We at Dunia Collegiate want future scholars to be passionate, inspire and motivate others just as Anala continues to do so.
