In order to welcome younger ages into our program, we will offer two age groups, Belles (grades 6-7) & Chéries (grades 4-5).

The Finishing School is a selective program and provides personalized lessons and private consultations for participants. Students are encouraged to maintain extracurricular activities including performing and fine arts, foreign language studies, sports and rigorous academic programs.
