Etiquette for Middle Schoolers
Middle-schoolers face challenging social and societal issues and we expect
them to behave responsibly. This discussion-based course will strengthen your
child's communication, presentation, and social skills through role-playing. We
empower and inspire students by providing them with the knowledge on what
the proper manners are at home, at school, and in their social lives. The goal
is to raise awareness about peer pressure, the communities within them, and
provide structure to learn more about the specific rules and actions an individual
can take to feel more secure in the way that they should act in certain situations.
The last class is held at a local upscale restaurant where students practice and
perfect their newly acquired skills while participating in a four-course meal! The
class will take place at noon, and no regularly scheduled class will take place
on that day. Fee $489

Etiquette for Young Adults
Today's high schoolers are juggling hectic schedules. From earning scholarships
to excelling in sports or preforming arts - high-schoolers are accomplishing
amazing things. However, face-to-face communication outside of their circle
may not come as easily, in particular dating. This class will discuss what it
means to be a good friend and a good partner, and will provide structure to learn
more about the specific rules and actions a young adult can take to feel more
secure in the way they should act in day-to-day life situations.
