It’s back to school time and Suri Cruise doesn’t know it, but she’s already being subtly indoctrinated into Scientology beliefs at her pre-school. Suri is enrolled at the controversial school Will and Jada Smith started, New Village Leadership Academy in Calabasas, which uses L Ron Hubbard teaching principles and employs many Scientology staffers and teachers. The $12,000 a year school teaches kids Scientology terminology and jargon early on, and leads them to admire L Ron Hubbard to ease their way into the cult. Hopefully, Suri won’t lose her independent spirit.

PRINCE JACKSON HAS A LOT TO BE GRATEFUL FOR

Here’s something Prince Jackson, 14, wouldn’t have had if his father Michael Jackson were still alive: a girlfriend. Michael kept his kids under wraps – literally – and they were home schooled. They only socialized with their own cousins. After Michael died, Prince and Paris started going to school with other kids and everything changed – they blossomed. Suddenly they had real friends and a social life and after school activities. Prince and his little girlfriend Niki Berger have been hanging out for a few months and were seen at Six Flags Magic Mountain this week.

HOME-SCHOOLED SURI CRUISE COULD USE A FRIEND

Suri Cruise, 5, looks like a determined young businesswoman. Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise’s little girl has a mind of her own (she dresses herself and advises her mother what to wear) and probably thinks all kids are as indulged as she is. Since she’s home-schooled she may never find out how the other half lives. It’s too bad because she looks like she could use some little friends her own age.

HALLE BERRY MAY HAVE TO FIGHT FOR NAHLA

Halle Berry is out and about rigorously touring pre-schools in the Hollywood area in hopes of finding the perfect place for her daughter Nahla. (Above, she’s at the ABC Little School) The question is: will she share this decision with Nahla’s father Gabriel Aubry? Although their split was once described as “amicable” things have changed since Halle fell for Olivier Martinez. Friendly breakups have a way of going bad when one party falls in love TOO quickly with someone else. Gabriel is getting ready for a custody battle because he wants more access to Nahla .

The first day of school can be somewhat traumatic even when your mother is Sarah Jessica Parker. Her son James doesn’t look thrilled at the prospect of summer vacation ending. Sarah dressed in a colorful outfit to walk James to school and stopped to point out an unusual bird in a tree to distract him. Sarah is about to start filming a comedy – “The Ivy Chronicles” – based on the book about a New York woman with two daughters who loses her husband, her job, and her Park Avenue apartment, and is forced to live in “reduced circumstances.”

Mischa Barton looks like she’s going back to school in this fall inspired outfit, but that’s not the case. It’s not October and she’s not on a college campus. She’s actually on her way to lunch in Beverly Hills and it’s 85 degrees. In spite of the heat, Mischa is wearing a wool brown and tan check blazer and brown suede shorts with matching suede kiltie golf-style shoes. She DOES have a style of her own.

MICHAEL JACKSON’S KIDS WILL FINALLY GET AN EDUCATION

Great news for Michael Jackson’s three kids. They are FINALLY going to be allowed to go to school with other children their own age. Since Michael died last summer, Prince, 13, Paris, 12, and 8 year old Blanket have been cloistered at Michael’s mother Katherine’s home. She thought about sending them to school, but ended up having them home-schooled this past year. Although they have their cousins to play with, Katherine has observed that they have no friends and lead solitary lives. In September, for the first times in their lives, the three children will attend a private school and be exposed to a whole new and wonderful world. Good for them.

Her parents are both huge celebrities, but Violet Affleck ,4, might be headed for public school.

They want Violet to have a normal life and not turn into a Hollywood brat. One of the reasons they chose to live in Brentwood is the fact that the area has a great public school.
