Elon Musk has opened up his own school
Tech genius Elon Musk has apparently decided that the schools in his area are not equipped to produce more people that we need in the world (i.e. people like him), so what did he do? Open his own school, dummies! D’uh.
With only 20 students (including his own 5 children), with no formal grade structure and set, fittingly, in a mansion, the school is named Ad Astra which is latin for ‘to the stars’.
The other children at Ad Astra are believed to be children of SpaceX employees. There are 3 teachers, and, currently at least, no website or obvious application process. Sorry, Junior.
“They weren’t doing the things I thought should be done,” Musk has reported saying. “I thought, well, let’s see what we can do. Maybe creating a school would be better.”
His vision for Ad Astra is an education that is matched to “the aptitudes and abilities” of the child. Sounds… nice. Let’s see some more genius’s Mr Musk!
