Children's Programs · Ages 5–17

Confidence they'll carry for life.

Manners taught the joyful way — never stuffy, never scolding. We give children the words, the poise, and the genuine kindness to walk into any room and feel completely at home in it.

By age

A program for every stage

Ages 5–8

Little Graces

Please and thank you with real meaning, gentle introductions, and the very first table manners — taught through play, stories, and a proper tea party.

Ages 9–12

Young Society

Confident conversation, thoughtful hosting, sportsmanship, and the full place setting — the age where poise becomes second nature.

Ages 13–17

The Debut Years

Formal dining, interviews and thank-you notes, digital manners, and dance-floor confidence for cotillions, college, and everything after.

The curriculum

What they'll learn

Introductions & Conversation

Handshakes, eye contact, remembering names, and how to talk with anyone — including grown-ups.

The Table

Cutlery, courses, napkins, and how to be the guest every host wants back.

Kindness in Practice

Including others, disagreeing well, and noticing when someone needs a friend.

Thank-You Notes

The lost art, revived — what to say, how to say it, and why it still matters.

Digital Manners

Group chats, gaming, and photos: being just as gracious online as in person.

Poise & Presence

Posture, entrances, and the quiet confidence of walking into a room unafraid.

Formats

However your family gathers

Weekend Workshops

A single joyful session — perfect as a first taste or a school-holiday treat.

The Tea Party Series

Six weeks culminating in a proper tea, where they host their own grown-ups.

Private & Sibling

One-on-one or small family groups, at home and entirely at their own pace.
