Gracious living is accessible to anyone who seeks it.

Lessons in Gracious Living, Lessons in Grooming a Gentleman and The Charming Child comprise our etiquette and character education curricula. Each curriculum comes as a user-friendly teacher’s guide and student workbook. There is no prior etiquette or teacher training necessary to use the teacher’s guide and run your own after school or in-class program.

Happy Customers

I think this was a great program for the young ladies. I could tell from the final program that they learned a lot and had a good time doing so. My daughter looked forward to attending each week and always came home to share what she learned.

The kids had a blast and to see them using the lessons they learned has really made me happy to know that I helped children learn something new that will help them in many ways when they get older. 

 I think that it is important for all students to know how to interact with others. How you present yourself is very important in all aspects of life.

About Us

There were many good girls in the cluster, but I could see that they needed to learn some straightforward facts on etiquette. I began to teach them etiquette rules. They loved it, their parents encouraged me, and my etiquette teaching became more formal as the girls asked me “the right way” to do or say things.

Traditional Education is Making a Comeback

Remember the unfair and totally inaccurate phrase “drill and kill?” Looks like it turns out drill and kill was really drill and master, or drill to master. (If you don’t believe me, just think of what you have to do to master a sport.) With the Common Core State...
