Houston, TX –Texas is set to witness the latest venture by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk as he prepares to open a new private school called Ad Astra in Bastrop County. The school, whose name translates to “To the Stars,” has already generated significant buzz across social media platforms for its unconventional approach to education and Musk’s sharp criticism of traditional “woke” schooling systems.
Ad Astra aims to foster creativity, curiosity, and problem-solving skills in children aged 3 to 9. The school will focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) through project-based learning, thematic STEM activities, and personalized instruction. Set on a sprawling 40-acre property near Musk’s other enterprises—such as The Boring Company and SpaceX—the school is believed to cater primarily to the families of employees working in these organizations.
Musk, who has often voiced his dissatisfaction with the current education system, envisions Ad Astra as a hub for developing the next generation of innovators. The school has recently received operational approval from Texas authorities, allowing it to enroll up to 21 students in its initial phase.
In a move consistent with his broader educational ambitions, Musk is reportedly planning to expand his footprint in education with a technology-focused university in Austin, provisionally named the Texas Institute of Technology and Science.
Applications for the Ad Astra 2024-2025 academic year are now open, with Musk’s latest endeavor promising to disrupt the educational landscape in Texas and beyond.
As the school prepares to open its doors, debates continue about the implications of Musk’s “anti-woke” educational philosophy, with many eager to see how this initiative will shape the broader conversation on private education in America.
