Will and Jada Plan To Open Up a High School
LOS ANGELES — Jada Pinkett Smith is adding another title to her resume: schoolmaster.
The 37-year-old actress-producer-musician and her husband, Will Smith, opened the New Village Leadership Academy last fall. The private school, for pre-kindergarten through sixth grade, has 60 students, according to the Web site.
Pinkett Smith hopes to open a companion campus for upper grades.
“My plan is to eventually have a high school,” Pinkett Smith said. Pinkett Smith, who is set to star in and executive produce a new series on TNT called “HawthoRNe,” said she decided to open the elementary school after creating a home-school program for her children, 10-year-old Jaden and 8-year-old Willow. “More and more parents were like, ’Can we come?’” she said. “Then my house started to fill up. We had like 20 kids and I said, ‘We might as well start a school.’”
The New Village Leadership Academy generated some controversy when it was first announced because it relies on instructional methods developed by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. The school’s director has said it isn’t a Scientology facility.
Hubbard’s “study technology” is a secular course akin to a Montessori approach, the Web site says.
