ABOUT PRE-COTILLION
The Pre-Cotillion program setting will encourage children to be comfortable together, make new friends, and enjoy themselves. Through role-playing, hands-on experience, and storytelling in a peer group, young ladies and gentlemen are expected to leave the program beginning with confidence and poise from knowing the proper thing to do. The NLJC Cotillion program is thoughtfully structured to support students over multiple years, allowing them to progressively build and refine their etiquette and social skills. As children advance through the program, they continually revisit and reinforce fundamental manners, while also being introduced to more sophisticated etiquette and social behaviors appropriate for their age. By the time they reach 6th grade, students transition into the Junior Cotillion program, where they receive formalized training in advanced etiquette and social conduct, preparing them for a lifetime of confident and polished interactions.
