Musk Started A School To Teach His Kids

Josh Dahn, a former Teach for All Fellow and the child's teacher at the time, was asked by Elon Musk in 2014 whether he would build a better school with him at SpaceX. Aye, Dahn. Ad Astra, which means "to the stars" in Latin, was established. Elon Musk manages a school within the SpaceX headquarters called Ad Astra, which is Latin for "to the stars." The school is attended by Musk's kids as well as several SpaceX staff members' kids. According to the tech website Ars Technica, the nonprofit institution has been operating since 2014.

According to a document filed with the Internal Revenue Service and originally noticed by Ars Technica, Musk launched Ad Astra to give his children an education that "exceeds traditional school criteria on all relevant subject matter through novel project-based learning experiences." The kids collaborate in groups, and math, physics, engineering, and ethics are given a lot of attention, according to an Ars Technica study. There is no grading scheme in place at the institution. Even though there are just 50 pupils enrolled at the school, 400 families reportedly applied in 2017. This is one of the interesting facts about Elon Musk.
