Most fourth graders are figuring out long division and practicing cursive. Honey Cooper is doing that too — just in between classes at San Bernardino Valley College.

The 10-year-old from Kimbark Elementary in California has officially become a dual-enrolled college student, joining a 12-person art course while still tackling her elementary school workload. Her mom, Mia Cooper, says the signs were there early. Honey didn’t babble much as a baby, but by 18 months, she was showing advanced abilities and eventually taught herself to read.

“Even though she’s in the fourth grade, Honey’s about at a 7th-grade math level. With reading, she’s probably at a high 12 grade,” Mia told KTLA 5.

Honey has big plans for her future. She told the station she hopes to be “a surgeon, an artist or a fashion designer.” For now, she’s studying with college students twice her age and treating the whole experience like just another assignment to juggle. “It really is a lot, but if you really balance it, it can go really smoothly,” she said.

Her teacher at Kimbark, Brittany Zuniga, says Honey is a reminder that students will rise to the expectations set for them. When you “raise the bar,” she said, young learners will “blow your mind.” She describes Honey as “very, very, very brilliant… dedicated, passionate. She loves learning.”

As for how Honey’s parents foster her abilities, Mia insists their home life is fairly typical — aside from one rule that sets Honey apart from many kids her age. “We don’t allow phone screen time at our home,” she told ABC 7. “It’s very limited. So maybe she’s not the average fourth grader when it comes to that.”

She added that friendships and social time matter just as much as academics. “Spending time with her friends is very important, because you have to work on that social skill.”

For now, Honey is proving that childhood and college coursework can coexist — as long as you’re 10, curious, and absolutely love learning.
