Jada Pinkett Smith Ready For Scientology High School
Our favorite little person and closet Scientologist, Jada Pinkett Smith, has been coming under fire in the last year for the controversial Scientology school she and hubby, Will "Keepin' My Xenu On The DL" Smith, dumped almost a cool million into last fall.
To refresh your memory, this new school is called the New Village Leadership Academy for pre-k through sixth grade and is located Calabassas, CA. It's just like any other school, except when you call to ask questions about the curriculum you are referred to the school's PR flack, Pat Kingsley. Why yes, the same woman who USED to be Tom Cruise's PR genius before he replaced her with his Scientologist ister LeeAnn. We all know how that worked out for him.
The NVLA has Scientology teachers on staff and appears to be "flourishing" according to Jada. Will and Jada STILL deny it is a Scientology school even though it incorporates study techniques developed by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard tech. These same study tools are used by Scientologists in the paid courses they use as well as Scientology-run schools.
"Hubbard’s “study technology” is a secular course akin to a Montessori approach, the Web site states."
Montessori approach? O'rlly?
"Children in Montessori classes learn at their own, individual pace and according to their own choice of activities from hundreds of possibilities. Learning is an exciting process of discovery, leading to concentration, motivation, self-discipline, and a love of learning."
From the New Village Academy website: (notice how its says "LEAD THE WORLD," sounds like Sci-speak to me!)
OUR FOUNDERS' VISION: NVLA will lead the world in identifying innovative learning styles and educational best practices. We are building an optimum learning environment - an ideal model to be shared with all people of the world."Continued on the next page
