As Suri Cruise turns three this month, she’ll be shipped off to the exclusive Dhs32,000-a-year New Village Academy in LA, where she’ll begin an intense five-day-a-week strict Scientology study and nutrition programme.

As reports emerge that mum Katie Holmes – who Tom has also inducted to the bizarre celeb ‘cult’ – is forced to pen a weekly confession to Tom and follow a strict ‘purification’ diet, which is rumoured to have turned her hands purple, Ahlan! asks, what exactly will happen to three-year-old Suri at the
super-secretive private school?

Strict diet
Despite the severe toll Katie Holmes’s recent radical Scientology detox took on her own body – leaving her with large red sores, and feeling too exhausted to attend the Oscars – Suri will be placed on a similar punishing diet, where sweet treats – such as her fave cupcakes – are banned.

‘The school is particularly strict about nutrition, demanding a low-carb, low-sodium and low-sugar organic diet,” spilled a source.

Treated like an adult
One core aspect of Scientology is that children should not actually be treated as children. Scientology founder, L Ron Hubbard – who reportedly used to punish his army of child ‘messengers’ by locking them in a metal box for days – claimed that everyone, whether three or 93, is a trillion-year-old immortal spirit, housed in a human “meat body.” As such, Scientologists are treated as adults, regardless of age.

“The children have a lot of responsibilities from a very young age,” confirmed a source at the school.

Hour-long ‘interrogations’
To ensure Suri doesn’t deviate from the strict Scientology moral code, she will be subject to regular “security checks.” Just as mum Katie Holmes is reportedly forced to document her transgressions in a weekly confessional letter to Tom, Suri will be subject to gruelling hour-long interrogations, without warning.

Hubbard’s “Children’s Security Check,” specifically for use on children, comprises a series of intrusive questions, including, ‘Have you ever refused to obey an order from someone you should obey?,’ ‘Do you have a secret?’ and ‘Who have you made feel guilty?’

Slowly Brain-washed
Rather than overload new Scientolos with too much info, Hubbard advocates delivering his teachings – which centre on the belief we’re descended from hostile aliens – in bite-sized chunks, to avoid frightening off new members.

The teachings are therefore broken down into ‘gradients’, with members on a need-to-know-basis until they are deemed trustworthy enough not to go blabbing Scientolo’s top secrets to non-members.

Any sign of dissent – from yawning to expressing a dislike for a subject – and Suri will be forced to take the same lesson over and over again, until she promises she understand it.
