American Cotillion Society

Which class is right for my child? A 5-year-old and a 15-year-old shouldn't be taught social skills the same way.
That's why American Cotillion Society programs are designed around a child's developmental stage.
Younger students learn through movement, games and practice.
Elementary students begin developing conversational confidence, introductions, table skills and social awareness.
Middle-school students work on the increasingly complicated social situations they encounter with peers, adults, technology and social events.
High-school students develop the communication, dining, leadership and personal-presence skills they will soon need for college, interviews, work and adult life. Registration Link: https://www.americancotillionsociety.com/new-page-3

After more than a decade of teaching children and teens, there is one transformation I never get tired of seeing:

The child who walks into class unsure of themselves—and gradually becomes the child who walks into a room knowing exactly what to do.

Etiquette isn't about being perfect.
It's about having the confidence that comes from knowing how to handle yourself and how to make the people around you feel comfortable.

That's what I want our students to carry with them long after class ends.

Modern etiquette isn't about creating perfectly mannered children.
It's about raising children who know how to handle themselves.
They understand how to make someone feel welcome. They can speak to adults with confidence. They know how to behave at a restaurant, attend a social event, meet someone new, and recover gracefully when they're unsure what to do.
Those skills follow them into friendships, school, college, interviews, careers and leadership.

Your child walks into a room where they don't know anyone.

Would they know how to introduce themselves?
Start a conversation?
Look up from their phone?
Speak confidently to an adult?
Join a group without feeling awkward?

These may sound like little things.
They're not.

Social confidence is built through practice—and these are exactly the kinds of real-world skills we teach at American Cotillion Society.
Follow along and find out what students learn at every age.

Registration is now open for Pre-K through 12th grade.

American Cotillion Society helps children and teens develop the social skills they need to feel comfortable walking into a room, introducing themselves, joining a conversation, dining with others, communicating respectfully, and knowing what to do in real-world social situations.

Not every child naturally knows how to:

• introduce themselves confidently
• join conversations easily
• make eye contact
• shake hands
• speak comfortably with adults
• navigate social situations without anxiety

These are skills that take practice. That’s why programs like American Cotillion Society matter.
In our classes, children practice real-world social skills in a warm, encouraging environment designed to help them feel confident, capable, and at ease.
Because confidence is not something children are simply born with.
It’s something they practice.
