Will Smith Buys His Kids a School
The Smiths announced Monday, May 19, that they paid $889,000 to leases Indian Hills High School in Calabasas, California for three years. Will Smith has stated that,
We started home-schooling our children probably six years ago. We found about eight or nine other parents that home-school, so we put them together... There's just very powerful educational concepts that we believe in, and we feel like 'I want to design the system that revolutionizes public education.'
The school will be known as the New Village Academy of Calabasas. A spokesperson for the family issued a statement saying,
Will is leasing the campus for three years, plus he'll cover all costs such as utilities. The academy will be run privately, and will include prekindergarten through grade six.
With the current budget crisis in California I bet most parents wish they had close to a million dollars to spend on their children's education. Can you imagine the special treatment his kids are going to get. What teacher would fail the school owner's child? Is this school even going to have teachers or is it just a place for a bunch of parents to come and home-school their children together?
