不分班级，聪明的孩子可以直接加速。不学第二语言，体育，音乐等STEM 弱相关课程。 注重关键思考能力，动手能力，数学量化能力，机器人相关，AI相关，人类道德和伦理讨论。
ELON MUSH一年投入475000美元，有30个左右学生，他的孩子和朋友的孩子。
除了让孩子学了钢琴思我刚好也让孩子开始学习机器人和AI，，蹭面子蹭面子了
Acceleration
Acceleration in this school is on a whole different level, and it follows a hundred years old research by Hollingsworth which stated that acceleration is important for gifted children. Ad Astra does not use the grade-level concept (such as grade 1, grade 5, etc.) that has dominated our education system for decades now. Instead of having to meet the requirements of a curriculum, the children are left alone to work based on the level of their ability. At different times of a day in school, the different age groups in the school are mixed up. All these are done to bake in acceleration.
Homework
The students at Ad Astra do not use homework worksheets. It does not matter what the discussion is all about. The point of homework is for the students to take the discussion home to their parents and family, discuss it with them, then go back to school with the information they have gathered from the family meeting. Doing this will foster communications with their parent and help them also to build up the right conversations and do meaningful things not only in school but at home as well.
A child-driven system
The school has a system that is run based on the students. About half of the plan is driven by the students. This includes an option for the student to opt-out of subjects if it does not interest them and also being able to trade in their currency.
According to assignment help, students love different things. Some of them love English, some others love maths and other people might prefer music. They also have different abilities, so they cater to the education of each one in line with their abilities and aptitudes.
Less h andwriting
Handwriting can be quite messy and they take a lot of time. So, instead of spending the majority of the time writing, the spend it typing instead. The students are more in touch with computers and are much slower when they handwrite.
Curriculum
The curriculum is different from traditional schools. The emphasis of the curriculum is on ethics, science, engineering, and maths. The school does not teach music or sport at all. The focus is on the use of artificial intelligence (AI).
Fewer languages
Ad Astra does not teach second languages at all. Although researches have shown that second languages are beneficial in developing the brain of a child and their understanding of other people’s culture. It is not something that Elon Musk fancies as he believes there will soon be computer-aided translations that will eradicate the need to learn second languages.
The future of education is bright. With someone like Elon Musk already taking a keen interest and looking to break the status quo. Although we are yet to ascertain how these changes will be implemented in the mainstream education sector, it is a great start that we have someone looking to the future and changing things now.
