New! Holiday Table: A Family Etiquette Experience
Because the holidays are full of moments that matter.
The holiday season brings more social moments than any other time of year — family gatherings, formal dinners, gift exchanges, and introductions to people you see once a year. It's the season where presence matters most, and where a little preparation goes a long way. Holiday Table is a 90-minute in-person etiquette experience designed for families — parents and children, learning and practicing together. This isn't a class where kids sit and listen while adults watch. Everyone participates. Everyone practices. And everyone leaves ready for the season.
What ages are appropriate?
This class is designed for mixed-age families. Children ages 6 and up do well alongside parents. Younger siblings are welcome if a parent is attending — the environment is warm and hands-on, not lecture-style.
What should we wear?
We suggest holiday smart-casual — part of the experience is showing up as you would for a real holiday gathering.
Can I register just one adult and one child?
Yes. The registration covers up to four family members. Smaller families are very welcome.
Will food be served?
Holiday Table is a practice session, not a dining experience. Families will work with a fully set formal table — place settings, glassware, and all — but no meal is served. We recommend eating beforehand so everyone arrives ready to focus.

New! Suit Up: Building the Gentleman for boys ages 7 to 11
What does it actually mean to be a gentleman today?
In this hands-on, confidence-building class, boys ages 7 to 11 will discover that being a gentleman has nothing to do with fancy clothing or formal rules. It is about two things: being strong and being kind.
Through activities, partner practice, and real-world scenarios, your son will learn how to walk into any room with confidence, greet people like he means it, listen well, and treat everyone around him with respect. He will leave with a personal Gentleman's Suit Worksheet and a Commitment he wrote himself.
This class is Part 1 of the Suit Up series and works beautifully as a standalone session. Part 2, Wearing It Well, covers table manners, public behavior, being a good guest, and navigating tricky social moments.
Date/Time: TBD
