Scientology School Front?

Filed under: Will Smith

willandfamily__opt1.jpg

You gotta start indoctrinating them from youth!

According to the National Enquirer, Will Smith is starting his own school because there's nothing out there good enough for his kids.

Will and his husband, Jada, have until now been home schooling their tots, Willow and Jaden.

Smith reportedly spent about $1 million to lease a campus near his California home.

The campus has been renamed the New Village Academy of Calabasas.

The academy will be run privately for kindergarten kids up through sixth grade.

The school's website says it's accepting applications now!

Wonder if we'll see Suri there in a few years????

    Do you think there will be a lot of black kids at this "school". You make it sound like a school for rich kids???? Is Will Smith black??? I can't call it anymore.

  16. Ew says – reply to this
    16

    I'm pretty sure the school will be for scientologists' children. They are accepting applications, sure, but it's really just a screening to see who your parents are. I'm willing to bet that no Catholics, Hindus, Christians, Baptists, Jews, etc will get in.

    Unfortunately I see Will Smith's career taking the same path as Tom's. And I really really like him. I pretty much grew up watching Will Smith, whether it was on Fresh Prince or in the movies. Sucks to see him turn into a spawn of Tom.

    guess only black kids are allowed to attend…did you take a look at the "pics" of the school? not a white kid in the bunch, all black kids and a token white teacher. now, that's teaching kids how to live right ! way to go Will.

    Good going Perez…free advertisment for the school. I think people actually pay you to post these links for all the world to see…don't be blind people…this is free press for Will Smith and the whole scientology fraud.

    What an interesting choice and use of their funds and celebrity. Some people have clothing lines, others have perfumes and housewares, they have a school that would teach children-this could potentially be a long lasting legacy if done right. I need to know more about it, but the Smith's are good people.

  41. Christine says – reply to this
    41

    Absolutely pitiful! They are so desperate for members that they are willing to sacrifice their own childrens free will and mentally beat them down with scientology bullshit???!!!!!! Nothing is worse than intentionally ruining a childs mind, brainwashing them, and stifling their flourishing minds!

  42. marie says – reply to this
    42

    Wow, that school is really expensive. They have to make sure that their kids are never exposed to "normal" kids. What they have listed as making them unique is actually pretty cool except the following:

    "We emphasize that children look up the words they don’t know in the dictionary as opposed to looking for context clues right away. They then learn exactly what words mean as opposed to “sort of” what words mean."

    This is totallly wrong…kids have to learn to understand context. When they are older and reading complex writing, they will not have the time to look up every word in the dictionary. Plus, by looking the word up in the dictionary, how do you know which definition is appropriate if you don't look at the context? That's the one thing I would challenge if I was rich enough and priveleged enough to send my kids to this school. If only I could act, then I could be rich like them, but instead I am a teacher (Perez is one of my guilty pleasures)!!!

    will smith is super talented, i'm a big fan of his. however, (IF this report is true) why not spend that money to help inner city schools? aren't underprivileged kids the kids who need the most attention educationally?

    Yeah….I bet this "school" has some sort of holiday on March 15 every year! That just happens to be L. Ron Hubbard's birthday and Scientologist's celebrate it like Christians celebrate the birth of Christ. May Xenu be with you!

    will smith isn't a scientologist. he's said so, and that just because he's friends with tom, he doesn't need to be in scientology. quit acting like you fucking know everything.

    OH JOY……RAPTURE…….I AM SURE TOM WILL WANT TO TEACH THE YOUNG MALE STUDENTS INTIMATELY HIMSELF. ANAL PROBES ARE OFTEN USED IN THE EDUCATION OF EARTHLINGS WHO MUST BE PURGED OF HARMFUL ENGRAMS. AND TOM IS JUST THE "VISITING PROFESSOR" AND XENU DEVOTEE WHO CAN DO IT!
    ……….QUEEN TOMASINA CAN PERSONALLY FART FIRE OUT OF HIS ASS………JUST LIKE ERIC CARTMAN. AND I AM SURE HE WILL WANT TO PASS ALONG THAT TALENT AND HIS VAST LEARNING, WHICH WAS SUMMARIZED IN THE VIDEO POSTED WHERE HE PONTIFICATES ON HIS UNCANNY ABILITY TO "KNOW" THING NO ONE ELSE DOES; IT WENT SOMETHING LIKE THIS:
    ……………………………"WHEN YOU PASS BY AN ACCIDENT AND YOU….YOU JUST 'KNOW' …..YOU KNOW YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN HELP….YOU KNOW…..HE HE HE…..HE HE HE…..YOU JUST KNOW. (SERIOUS AGAIN) YOU KNOW YOU HAVE THIS ABILITY, THIS …..UH….ER……….HE HE HE…..YOU KNOW YOU CAN HELP…….YOU KNOW AND THAT IS POWERFUL. HE HE HE.. YOU CAN BE THERE….HE HE ….YOU…YOU KNOW."
    ……………………………………
    WOW!!!! THERE IS TIMELESS WISDOM. LET US HOPE HE CAN PASS THAT EXTRAORDINARY AND DEEP INSIGHT ALONG TO CLONE SURI AND THESE LUCKY CHILDREN SO THAT HE CAN TAKE HIS PLACE ALONGSIDE THE OTHER ASCENDED PEDAGOGICAL MASTERS. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
    …………………..THOSE CHILDREN ARE GOING TO BE SO LUCKY!!!!!!!

    This IS a scientology school. Look at the curriculum, it is Hubbard/scientology based. BTW scientologists are encouraged to lie to protect their interests (another Hubbard policy).

  59. er says – reply to this
    59

    It is now 100% clear that Will Smith and Jada Smith are full-fledged Scientologists. No doubt. This "school" is a most certainly a front for the Cult of Scientology. Their own website quotes that their curriculum is based on L. Ron Hubbard's "Study Tech" (LRH was the creator of the con-pyramid scheme known as Scientology). This will only put money in the pockets of the current leader of the Cult, David Miscavige, as well as indoctrinate many innocent children into the cult, leading them down a path of mental anguish, forced labor, extortion, and possible suicide.

    Calabasas is a rich community. Think–estates with horses, etc. Lots of rich folk like Will live in Calabasas.
    So a school with diversity? Doubt it, unless they intend to bus in poor kids, which will take about 1.5 hours minimum one way. I guess kids from Malibu might make the drive, it's not TOO far away.
    The main point is: IT'S A SCHOOL FOR RICH KIDS. Look at the tuition. It's a school for elitist parents and their tots. Probably famous parents and they're snot tots.
    Boy, I reel at what kind of play dates the precious little ones will have.

    Will, I'm ashamed of you. Elitist. I never expected that from you.

    On a side note to the people who think home schooling is better than regular school… You are truely mistaken. It depends on the school itself and the individual student, not whether it is private, public, or other.

    The site of this school is Indian Hills High School which is a continuation school for high school drop outs who are kicked out of the normal district schools, usually drug addicts.

    Sounds promising doesn't it?

    If you don't believe my just google the address.

  67. Investigation is now complete says – reply to this
    67

    Being quite knowledgeable about Scientology and its front organisations I have searched for terminology and keywords on their site.

    Will Smith and Jada are both Scientologists. The schools mission statement etc are closely gleaned from the Way to Happiness which is a "bridge" course to becoming a full blown Scientologist.

    This is the new face and soft sell because Tom Cruise is just too over the top.

    Boycott the school.

    Boycott anything a celebutard does.

    Their egos are out of control and they are easy to groom into cults.

    Why trust them?

    Find out for yourself.

    thank you.

    I personally think it's refreshing to see Hollywood parents so involved with their kids. The fact that they care so much about their kids' education really shows that they want the best for them and for them to have boundless opportunities in the future.

Now he think he and his family are like superuman with super needs. Get over yourself and quit hanging out with Tom Cruise. I mean how do fuck up Tom Cruise? That was a lock. Answer: Delusional megalamaniacism. I just saw Jared Leto at 24 hour fitness by himself, just working out (fedora and sunglasses for obvious reasons) and he is way cooler than either of those douchebags.
