O 
Children in middle school can have a hard time adjusting to the many social and physical changes that take place.  If your child feels left-out, nervous, has a low self-esteem or is just unsure of themselves, etiquette and character classes can be a great answer to help turn that around.
  Our Cotillion Classes can give your child the confidence they need to succeed in every social situation.  We give them the tools they need to navigate those early formative years!
Cotillion Classes Begin October 16th
6th-8th Grade:  5:00-6:30

 

        Our goal is to teach your child the social skills they need to make friends, communicate with adults, dine with confidence, and excel in every area of their life!

Class Dates:  Classes start October 16th and will run once a month on Sundays.*
