Elon Musk is venturing into the education sector by funding Ad Astra, a Montessori private preschool in Texas. The school will emphasize hands-on, project-based learning and integrate STEM into its curriculum.
Elon Musk is making yet another business move and this time he’s reimagining what education in the U.S. could be. The multi-billionaire has started funding Ad Astra, a Montessori private preschool, outside Bastrop, Texas , recently state-issued documents show.

The cost of tuition will be subsidized initially, according to Ad Astra’s website, but eventually 'tuition will be in line with local private schools that include an extended day program.' The website describes the curriculum as being 'carefully sequenced and activity-based' aimed at allowing children to develop essential skills and problem-solving techniques 'at their own pace.' 'This unique approach prepares children for, and ultimately mastery of, reading, writing and mathematics,' the website says. This is not the first mention of Musk’s interest in starting a schoo
