Elon Musk’s next $100 million bet is a project for children aged 3-6

Ad Astra, a pre-kindergarten Montessori school funded by Elon Musk, has officially received its state permit to begin operations in Bastrop County, Texas. Approved by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission on November 14, 2024, the school reflects Musk’s vision of integrating innovative learning methods into early childhood education. With a focus on exploration-based and STEM-driven curricula, Ad Astra aims to equip children with critical skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics while fostering curiosity and foundational learning.
