Talk show host Oprah Winfrey isn’t the only celebrity using her star power to help further the development of kids. The latest stars to step forward in the quest to educate children are actor Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith.
The Smith’s opened the New Village Leadership Academy in Calabasas, California last fall. The school teaches pre-k through sixth grade. Pinkett developed a home school program for her kids and wanted to share it with other children.
This school has seen its share of controversy, including rumors that the teachings utilize methods developed by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, though the director of the school denies any Scientology ties.
