Mark Zuckerberg is an American internet entrepreneur, computer scientist, and philanthropist, best known as the founder, chairman and CEO of the social networking site Facebook. Zuckerberg’s meteoric rise to become one of the world’s richest people begs the question – where did Mark Zuckerberg grow up?<\/p>\n

Zuckerberg grew up in the Dobbs Ferry, New York area and attended Ardsley High School. He excelled academically and was a member of several extracurricular clubs and activities. He was the captain of his school’s fencing team and a member of the chess and newspaper clubs. During high school, Zuckerberg developed a passion for computers, learning programming languages such as Basic, C++, and HTML in order to make computer graphics and websites. He was also a very capable student and was accepted into several prestigious colleges.<\/p>\n

After high school, Zuckerberg attended Harvard University. It was here that he developed the first iteration of Facebook. During his sophomore year, he dropped out of Harvard and moved to Palo Alto, California to continue work on the development of Facebook. Zuckerberg moved back and forth between Palo Alto and New York while working on the project and eventually, Facebook was launched in 2004. <\/p>\n

Zuckerberg’s rise to success began with his hard work learning programming languages as a high school student. He was described as an “extremely bright” student throughout high school and was known for his ability to pick up concepts quickly. From Harvard, he developed the idea of Facebook and with the help of early investors was able to achieve immense success in a short period of time.<\/p>\n
