Will Smith gets scholastic

Superstar Will Smith has never found a school he likes for his kids so now he's starting his own.

Cost? More than $1 million!

The box office titan signed a deal to lease a campus near his California home.

Renamed the New Village Academy of Calabasas, the academy will be run privately including kindergarten through sixth grade.

The new Smith school -whose motto is Spiral Up! - requires special testing for admission and will be open 'to all races, religions and creeds', according to a spokesperson.

Previously, Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith, were homeschooling their two children at the Smith family compound.
