We are offering a limited number of in-person classes on school and holiday weekdays and some weekends.
Children who have good manners are more likeable, comfortable and confident. But, often, children need to hear from a third party that manners matter in order to start practicing them. Clise Etiquette teaches and reinforces the manners and social skills your children need to succeed socially and, later, professionally. Your children will learn important skills that help them to be poised, polished and polite whether they are interacting online or in-person.
