IMAGE AND STYLE
Good Manners are skills that allow us to move in life with ease. Good manners not only consist of knowing how to use the place settings or how to eat a difficult food with neatness, but they are based on respect and in doing to others as you would like them to do to you. The reality is that we all can learn good manners, and once they become part of our daily life; they will always make us shine and feel very special.
The image we project is also important to cause a good impression: It is not that we must wear formal clothes everyday, because good manners and courtesy can also be shown even if we wear jeans and t-shirt. But, it is important to always present ourselves clean, with ironed clothes, combed hair, perfumed, and with a friendly smile ready to conquer the world. Our goal in Always Gracious is that our students learn the basic manners to project a distinguished image and a unique style, which will allow them to open doors in all aspects of their lives.
On this page you will find the description of the Image and Style courses that we offer exclusively for ladies.
