About this event

Etiquette Class for Young Adults at the Historic Sharpe House

In an increasingly digital world, the ability to navigate face-to-face interactions with grace is more than just a "nice-to-have" skill; it is a competitive advantage.

Whether it’s a college interview, a professional networking event, or a formal gala, young people who master etiquette possess a quiet confidence that commands respect. These skills build emotional intelligence, foster stronger relationships, and ensure that no matter the setting, your child will always feel they belong at the table.

Mastering the Art of Social Grace

Our curriculum goes beyond "please" and "thank you." We dive into the nuances of presentation and social mechanics to ensure students are prepared for any social or professional scenario.

  • Appearance & Carriage: The power of a first impression and how to carry oneself with poise.
  • Conversation & Gatherings: The art of small talk, active listening, and entering/exiting groups.
  • The Social Circuit: Comprehensive training in Tea Etiquette, Dining Etiquette, and navigating a Reception or Buffet with ease.
