They grow up so fast: Suri Cruise’s first day of school—Scientology-flavored school—was last week. So what’s it like at the New Village Leadership Academy in Calabasas, California, which uses L. Ron Hubbard’s “study technology” educational system? Well, for one thing, there’s a lot of clay. Sculpting is apparently big at schools like this, Slate explains, because Hubbard said students are frustrated when they have no access to “mass,” or the physical presence of whatever object they’re studying. According to the official study technology website, without mass students feel, among other things, “sort of spinny” and “squashed.” Therefore, Suri will probably be encouraged to use clay to sculpt concepts she’s learning about.

She’ll likely start each day with a list of lessons and tasks, which a teacher or more advanced student will check off as each is completed. Students work at their own pace, so rather than lecturing the entire class, teachers usually rotate amongst the students to provide individual support. Students track their progress with a graphing, point-based system, but some critics and former students say it’s easy to pad point totals with easy tasks, and that grade inflation is common. One more odd tidbit: Hubbard, who didn’t believe in learning disabilities, said yawning was a sign that a student had misunderstood a word—so if Suri yawns, that’ll likely bring a teacher post-haste.

Will you be enrolling your child in a Scientology academy anytime soon?

Thanks a lot.

I would do it long before I would send her to church. Scientology teaches a lot of good life skills. Ron Hubbard was a cognitive psychologist. He was embarrassed to admit this because he made war with the profession, but he was. Students of psychology are very organized. They understand the cognitive motivations of the mind. They understand the anatomy of anger and the anatomy of motivation.

Then, when they become more advanced, they start learning mythologies about the spirit. Once the instructors whip out than Thetan Philosophy and dianetics, its time to withdraw your child from the academy. Nothing more to see here, folks.
