The Protocol Academy Kids 12-14

Have your Tween/Early Teen participate in a new, modern-based etiquette class with The Protocol Academy. It will empower them with progressive dining, communication, behavior and personal etiquette skills. Topics are aimed toward students’ age appropriate etiquette needs, expectations, issues and evolving lifestyles and goals. Content and methodologies are based on current research and teaching techniques.

 

Skills will focus on manners and knowledge while dining casually and formally (building upon the past weeks’ sessions); meet and greet essentials; the importance of eye contact; the significance of connecting personally with people; effective (“affect”) communication skills; deference; using kindness, graciousness, courtesy and thoughtfulness in every day real life situations; proper wardrobe attire; texting and social media etiquette and more.
