Elon Musk’s educational beliefs

Elon Musk, the creator of Tesla and one of the richest people on the
planet, thinks that the education system could be vastly improved.

In a world where wealthy urbanites fill out comprehensive private


school applications for kindergarteners, and academic pedigree is
sold as the main pathway to a financially secure future, getting your
kids into the same elementary school as Elon Musk’s children would
be pretty exciting.
But getting them into a school actually founded by Musk, the
billionaire genius behind SpaceX and Tesla Motors? That would be
an absolute coup.
And, as you may have heard, such a school exists. It’s called Ad
Astra, Latin for “to the stars,” and it’s in southern California. But
with no known website or application process, the school is
something of a mystery to parents who’d love to enroll their
children.

The entrepreneur created Ad Astra with Joshua Dahn on the campus


of SpaceX(Space Exploration Technologies Corporation) called “the
most exclusive school in the world" by Washington Post.
