Bosses at New Village Academy of Calabasas, the school funded by Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett-Smith, have denied students are to be given lessons in Scientology.

Will is a close friend of outspoken Scientologist Tom Cruise and was recently forced to deny rumors he too has enrolled in the Church of Scientology.

The Hancock star was also rumored to have instructed teachers at his new school to preach the controversial faith to students, but academy director Jacqueline Olivier has denied the allegations - insisting the school will not focus on any religion in particular saying:

”We are a secular school, and just like all nonreligious independent schools, faculty and staff do not promote their own religions at school or pass on the beliefs of their particular faith to children.”

The school is due to open in September .
