In addition to the usual courtesies including - greetings, table manners, correspondence and appearances - we also offer instruction in the area of birthday parties, sports, restaurants and the values of honor, respect, dignity, honesty and responsibility. We teach through role playing as we provide hands on experience and story telling in a peer group setting. Young ladies and gentlemen are expected to leave the program with the beginnings of confidence and poise as they encounter social situations in their lives.

Junior Cotillion meets once a month for an hour and a half class during the fall and spring.   Etiquette training will involve how to talk to, interact and show respect to parents, friends and others. We will practice table manners, cell phone etiquette, making positive first impressions,  writing thank you notes, responding to invitations, introductions and greeting,  conversation skills, paying and receiving compliments, preparing for job interviews and first resumes. We will explain dress codes for all occasions, manners in the home, and much more. We will also teach and practice the basics of Ballroom Dance. The Junior Cotillion Program will culminate in an instructional dinner at Belmont CC.

The Eighth Grade Cotillion Program or "Premiere Program" builds upon the etiquette skills learned in Junior Cotillion and gives the students the opportunity to go out into the community and practice! For those students who have not yet participated in Cotillion, we will hold a free crash course class in etiquette and ballroom dance in September. 

In the program itself, our eighth grade students will attend a professional theatre production. Other events include a restaurant outing to practice ordering from a menu,  classroom time with international and business etiquette guidelines, and a Grand Ball with an instructional dinner. This program will meet October through March.

All classes are held at Belmont Country Club.

The High School Cotillion Program presents a diversified collection of events to allow the students to experience real life social situations. Before our children begin college life and enter into the real business world, we want to help prepare them for situations like job interviews, networking, meeting and dining with people they would like to impress in a positive way. We hold most of our events within Loudoun County and are proud of the fact that we support a variety of local businesses including restaurants, theatre groups, and non-profit organizations. Some of the events have included networking in the business world, how to prepare for job interviews, a night with the Loudoun Symphony, how to dress for success, and a Moonlight Dinner Cruise on the Potomac! Our events will change from year to year, however we will always refresh and hone the skills of dining, networking, polite conversation and what it means to be a person of honor, dignity and respect. 

For those students who have not yet participated in Cotillion, we will hold a free crash course class in etiquette and ballroom dance in early Fall.
