“I am so happy I sent my son to Impressions because he learned the important social skills and etiquette he needs to know such as how to confidently greet others, have nice table manners, and be safe and polite when using electronics and social media. Thank you!”  Jenn T., Huntersville, NC

 

 What is Impressions? 

In today’s modern and competitive world, kids need to know how to greet others with confidence, carry on a conversation and build relationships. They need to know how to use social media as a tool not a weapon. Kids who have polite table manners, know how to show respect and kindness, and can make a positive and lasting impression on others, will outshine those who don’t. It’s a competitive world and studies show that 80% of a person’s professional success is based on their social skills!

Our etiquette classes are only 2-hours and they teach children the essential manners and social skills they need to know in an interactive and fun way so that the kids are engaged, having fun, and learn!  

 

What will my child learn?

• Table manners and dining etiquette
• Confident introductions
• Polite greeting skills and making small talk
• Telephone etiquette
• Social media manners
• How to show respect and kindness to peers and adults
• Communicating confidence and charisma

 Here is some feedback from the Impressions etiquette classes.

“I’m so glad my son participated in the Impressions class. He learned to shake hands and look others in the eyes when talking, and he even keeps his elbows off the table at dinner! Thank you.” Cathy S., mom

“I hate to admit this, but I really had a fun time at cotillion! I enjoyed doing all of the activities, acting stuff out, and learning how to do things properly.” Jake, 6th grader

“I wanted my daughter to learn the manners and etiquette she needs to make friends, feel confident, and help her when she is older, but I didn’t want to spend too much time or money to have her sit through a program that was out dated and didn’t address the etiquette that kids need today. I was so happy with your Impressions program because in only a couple of classes, my daughter learned so much and she really enjoyed the interactive style of the class. Thank you!” Ron W., dad
