Training Poster with Words
Children are the leaders of tomorrow. Present them with the opportunity to feel self-reliant and confident in any social situation by taking interactive lessons taught by a certified etiquette consultant. Our etiquette series are designed to empower children with real life skills and instill social consideration and mutual respect. To survive the rising social pressure, children must be taught how to feel confident and comfortable around people and to find their place in the world. Each day we discuss in depth a different topic and its significance. 

Monday: Etiquette, Self-Presentation and Making a Positive Impression
Tuesday: Gift Giving and Gift Receiving Etiquette and Thank You Notes
Wednesday: Respect and Courtesy – In and Outside of the Home
Thursday: Telephone Protocol and Netiquette -SocialMedia Etiquette, Texting and Email Protocol

  • Please make sure your child’s screen is set up so students are able to stand in front of the screen from the waist up as we will discuss posture and body language.
  • Please set your child up somewhere in the house where there will be no distractions, it is extremely beneficial to minimize background noises. Noises can be very distracting for all students attending the program.
