Why Should My Child Attend
"Cotillion Austin-Style"?
In the midst of our busy lives, only the rare household makes time
to encourage social etiquette. And only an unusual child is willing
to accept social etiquette at home while the rest of the world is
so casual.
Cotillion is social education. The primary goals are to teach the
children self-respect, respect for others, and self-confidence.
The program hones communication skills and teaches children to be
comfortable in all types of social settings.
