Our programs are held weekly for eight weeks of each school term.

There are eight programs from which to select which are presented over the school year in pairs.

Classes are held outside of school hours.

The Director and Tutor, Melissa Anderson, creates a class atmosphere that is warm, appreciative, encouraging, attentive, engaging and inspiring. We do not allow cliques to forrm. We work as a team always.

Our curriculum is designed to provide practical, hands-on training through peer review, discussions, role-play, multi-media analysis, case studies, experiential activities, competitions, games, self-assessment and structured class exercises.

As well as building the foundations of being well-rounded, polite and courteous, we also provide girls with the finishing touches they need to really shine.

Many of our students are high achievers who are looking for that extra edge in an already competitive world.

Many of our students show early signs of leadership qualities and we work to develop and improve those skills even further.
