According to tax filings obtained by Bloomberg, the school plans to start with an initial enrollment of about 50 students. The filing outlines the school's ambition to be tuition-free.

Ad Astra takes a unique approach by abandoning traditional grading systems in favor of assessing “competencies and capabilities”. This means that here children's skills and talents are given more importance than their marks.
