The Pre-Cotillion Program setting for students in first through fourth grade will encourage children to be comfortable together, to make new friends and enjoy themselves. Through role-playing, hands-on experience, and storytelling in a peer group, young ladies and gentlemen will leave the program with the beginnings of confidence and poise that come from knowing the appropriate behavior in a variety of age-appropriate experiences.
The Sunday afternoon program will be scheduled for spring 2026, March - April (excluding the week of Good Friday-Easter Sunday), in the Winston-Salem area. Final dates and times to be determined.
