ABOUT
The Etiquette School of the Commonwealth presents a life skills approach to teaching manners, dining skills & social etiquette. Having good manners and being able to properly present oneself is essential in today’s increasingly competitive society. When a child, teen, young adult, or older adult feels comfortable in these areas, they are better able to get along with others, communicate, and set a leadership example at home, at school, in social situations, or in a corporate setting.
