    Premiere

    The Premiere program builds upon the skills taught in Junior Cotillion and provides an opportunity for students to apply their knowledge in real-world environments. In addition to classes about international etiquette, public speaking, and developing conversational skills, we are excited about the opportunities outside the classroom like the theater event and 5-course meal. The Premiere program is a unique opportunity for students to practice all their Cotillion skills, inside and outside of the classroom.

    High School

    Our High School program prepares students for college and careers. We talk with students about their personality type, career aspirations, life skills, interview preparation, resume review, and meet with local business leaders for a business lunch to allow students to ask questions. This invaluable experience solidifies the character development we teach in Cotillion to prepare for the future!
