Elon Musk Launches Montessori STEM School in Texas

The Ad Astra school, located near Austin, aims to foster creativity and problem-solving in children aged 3 to 9 through project-based learning.

Ad Astra, a Montessori-inspired private school funded by Elon Musk, has received state approval to operate near Bastrop, Texas.
The school emphasizes hands-on, project-based learning with a focus on integrating STEM subjects into its curriculum.
Initially permitted to educate up to 21 students, the school plans to serve children aged 3 to 9, with tuition subsidized in its early stages.
The facility is situated near Musk's business operations, including SpaceX and The Boring Company, and may cater to employees' families.
Musk has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in educational initiatives, with plans for broader expansion into primary, secondary, and university-level education.
