Civil society will always have room for improvement in style, mannerisms, and etiquette. As Theodore Roosevelt pointed, “Politeness is a sign of dignity,” training from a finishing school represents a class that pervades business, social, and cultural realms across the world.

Conventional Swiss and European finishing schools of the past provided young ladies with a foundational education in aspects of social etiquette, traditional roles of women in households, and a refined appreciation for politeness. Women today have moved from the hearth to the outdoors, and the concept has evolved to include business-speak, personality enhancement, and cultural excellence for both women and men.
