Social Etiquette
Kids & Teens
When you partner with Poised & Proper, we prepare your child or teen for a lifetime of success! During our Social Skills course, we will meet with your child once a week to fill in the gaps that traditional schooling leaves open. In our courses, your child will learn essential social skills through small-group instruction and role-play. They will receive a student workbook dedicated to a fun, interactive program that will teach them to be successful and confident. The Social Etiquette Course wraps up with a Certificate, which can be applied to future resumes.
