Life Skills for Children, Teens & Young Adults an investment in your child’s future success

Young people play a pivotal role in shaping our society through the use of good manners and lifestyle skills. These skills serve as a compass guiding interaction with one another allowing for consideration and respect when navigating the complexities of our world. These life skills empower them to maneuver diverse and unfamiliar situations confidently and gracefully.

These skills are not innate or inherited. They are taught, learned and practiced, and when "the desire" is present, professional confidence is evident. Our program develops skills that will allow a person to contribute positively to humanity and society.

The Cleveland School of Etiquette offers individual classes, group classes, camps, and school programs at truly affordable pricing.
