Children & Teens…
By learning the rules of
protocol and etiquette at an early age, they become ingrained making
them second nature later in life. Whether it’s meeting a friend’s
parents for the first time with a proper handshake or confidently
interviewing with college officials, this built-in advantage will
help your child or young adult excel.
Dining skills are a primary focus of protocol and etiquette. Through
fun and interactive learning, our certified trainer guides students as they develop new skills. Classes are held in a formal
dining atmosphere that includes fresh flowers, formal flatware and
crystal. Food is served at each session promoting knowledge and
confidence.
