Fox411 columnist Roger Friedman caught up with the actor and his wife Jada Monday night at the premiere of "Lakeview Terrace," which Smith produced with partner James Lassiter. Friedman asked about reports of the new school he founded in suburban Los Angeles using one of Scientology’s study programs.
The school, New Village Leadership Academy, is using one of Scientology's teaching tools, but Will told Friedman: “You can take different parts of things you like and put them all together.”
On Sept. 8, Smith met in person with an anti-Scientology group called Anonymous. In their recent press release, the group said: "We appreciate Will's interest in our efforts and his openness in speaking with us directly. It shows his concern both as a parent and educator.
"Anonymous is hopeful that NVLA will take the great strides necessary to correct for the deficiencies in Scientology's Study Tech, or abandon them altogether. We will be keeping an eye on the situation to make sure that NVLA lives up to the goals Will Smith has for it, which include keeping the Church of Scientology out of the classrooms."
We got our eyes on you Will.....

Will Smith IS a Scientologist.
He supports Tom Cruise. He defended the Scientology "thetan" concept in the media. He uses Scientology "tech" in his school and many of the teachers there JUST HAPPEN TO BE Scientologists, what a coincidence. He gave out Scientology coupons in gift bags to fellow actors at a party. He donated a fortune to Scientology-related organizations.
Scientology has a secular component and a religious component, and though Smith may or may not be telling the truth when he says it's not his religion, he IS a de-facto Scientologist on a secular level and a business level, whether he strictly follows the religious part of it or not.
Celebs are crazy and their antics no longer surprise me.
On another note "Lakeview Terrace" was really good.
