Junior Cotillion Year I
The skills taught in Year I highlight the importance of thinking of others and the impact actions can have in showing people respect. We know most people can open a door for themselves, for example, but building habits of showing respect in small ways now helps our students to get into the habit of thinking more broadly about the importance of showing consideration for people in all settings. At the end of each class, students are challenged to practice that class’s manners in the home, allowing them to practice (and fail safely, and try again!), and helps them to get in the habit of treating those closest to them with kindness and respect.

Junior Cotillion Year II
The protocols we teach in our Second Year program provide concrete ideas for how to navigate difficult social experiences and develop good character now so they’re prepared for the future. From focusing on how to introduce oneself in a variety of situations to our instructional dinner where the students practice polite face-to-face communication, these classes will help your students to gain the skills to talk to one another – on or off-line. At the end of each class students are given a challenge to practice manners in public and start learning to apply the skills taught in Cotillion in the real world.

Junior Cotillion Premiere
The Premiere program builds upon the skills taught in Junior Cotillion and provides an opportunity for students to apply their knowledge in real world environments. In addition to classes about international etiquette, public speaking, and developing conversational skills, we are excited about the opportunities outside the classroom like the theater event and 5-course meal. The Premiere program is a unique opportunity for students to practice all their Cotillion skills, inside and outside of the classroom.

High School
It takes a lot to prepare for adulthood, but mostly it takes practice and experience. From learning practical tips like how to develop a resume or fill out a W-4, to attending a theater outing and formal dinner, students in our high school program are prepared to succeed in any environment. Throughout these events we focus on being genuine in their interactions to ensure future success.
