Manners and Social Graces for the 21st Century...

Manners are the uniting of good intentions with like actions. Their use shows kindness and respect for others. The use of manners helps us to feel kinder and more respectful within ourselves when we employ such actions. Moreover, manners are important because they ultimately make-up the language of the biography written of each one of us.

Etiquette training builds confidence, enhances the way you treat your friends and improves relations with your clients. Why? Simply, your friends like being treated with courtesy, compassion and care, while business people prefer doing business with those individuals who mirror their own values.

In today’s world of rush, short cuts, abruptness and casual everything, it is the polish of self-presentation, bearing, and the use of social graces that will help you to stand out with your friends and from your competition. By knowing the rules of polite society any child, teen or adult can be comfortable in any situation he may find himself whether in the professional arena or enjoying family and friends.

At The Etiquette School of New York in Saratoga Springs, we love the look in a child’s eyes when an etiquette lesson is comprehended and imprinted on the student as a new part of her personal repertoire. We enjoy observing the growth of confidence in our adult clients as their self-presentation skills are enhanced through our series of lessons.
