Bishop's School Teen, 15, Ready for Princeton University

Maxim Zaslavsky is finishing high school early and ready for the Ivy League.

A Princeton University-bound student from the Bishop's School did not walk in the commencement ceremony, but don't let that deceive you, 10news.com reported.

Maxim Zaslavsky is completing high school at the age of 15, but the young man, who speaks Russian and French, has not taken a couple of courses he needs for Bishop's and must complete them before he can officially walk in the school's graduation ceremony.

In addition to his language skills, he also plays three instruments and is trying to develop an device to aid those suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease, according to the report.

He's looking forward to going to the Ivy League, he told the station. See a list of his accomplishments here.

"It feels exciting," said Maxim. "I think I've kind of outgrown my current school and I love it there. I think this is a great path forward."
