Ad Astra (Latin for "to the stars") is an experimental, non-traditional school founded by Elon Musk in 2014 to provide a specialized education for his children and others, focusing on AI, coding, and, engineering rather than traditional, graded, age-based curricula. Originally located at SpaceX's headquarters, it is being relaunched as a Montessori-inspired school near Austin, Texas, targeting STEM-forward, project-based, and child-centered learning.
