Elon Musk is making another business move, and this time it’s reimagining what education in the US could be.

The billionaire has started funding Ad Astra, a private Montessori preschool, outside Bastrop, Texas, show documents recently issued by the state.

The preschool will be located on 40 acres of land and a 4,000-square-foot house will be remodeled for the project, he said. Texas Health and Human Services Documents obtained by Bloomberg.

Ad Astra’s website says it will “focus on hands-on project-based learning, where children are encouraged to explore, experiment and discover solutions to real-world problems. Ad Astra offers a progressive learning environment that emphasizes the integration of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) into its curriculum.

The initial permit states that the school can educate up to 21 students, but the website lists the population as 18 students ages 3 to 6 and 30 students ages 6 to 9.

The Ad Astra website explains that it is currently open to all children aged 3-9 and there are job vacancies for assistant professors of all levels.

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 “carefully sequenced and activity-based” with the aim of enabling 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 math,” the website says.
