Origin Story: Born at Ad Astra - Elon Musk's Revolutionary School on Space X
Undoubtedly one of the coolest schools on the planet, Astra Nova (formally Ad Astra – the school on Space X) think about education differently.
With a focus on valuing student interests and unique abilities, Astra Nova redesigns their curriculum yearly to ensure they tailor learning to students interests and make each school year stimulating, fun, and future-relevant.
Astra Nova believes, wholeheartedly, that children can and must love school. Their approach is driven by the conviction that children should consider multiple perspectives, designs, and choices. They should be given the freedom to explore their interests and direct energy to areas where they feel that magnetic pull of fascination.
The Network is now on a mission to connect & educate people worldwide who want to focus on this style of learning – the type of learning that Elon Musk wanted for the kids of Space X rocket scientists.
