“Good manners reflect something from inside —an innate sense of consideration for others and respect for self.”
PUBLIC, PRIVATE, BOARDING, DAY SCHOOL & HOMESCHOOL PROGRAMS
Our proprietary UP Programs take a unique approach addressing the whole student…body, mind and spirit. They provide the foundation for our customized trainings, reaching beyond traditional etiquette programs. Our clients rise to the occasion by understanding the principles of kindness, respect, honesty, empathy, responsibility and gratitude through mindfulness. When these values are combined with etiquette knowledge and know-how; students feel confident, empowered and at ease socially, academically and professionally. With consistent practice and awareness, these skills become habits which then create a manners mindset. We are passionate about our message and look forward to sharing it with students of all ages.
