Confidence is not a costume.
It is a practiced standard.
Confidence ◆ Presence ◆ Social Intelligence ◆ Leadership ◆ Future Readiness
More Than Etiquette
Poise with purpose.
Standards with substance.
Today’s girls need more than rules about forks and posture. They need the confidence to speak, the judgment to read a room, the financial awareness to make wise decisions and the courage to lead without shrinking.
FINISHING ACADEMY gives each student a polished, age-appropriate environment to practice the skills that shape how she enters classrooms, interviews, social settings and future opportunities.
The Standard
Five pillars.
One prepared young woman.
- 01
Confidence
Knowing her value and showing up without apology.
- 02
Presence
Carrying herself with intention, care and composure.
- 03
Social Intelligence
Reading the room, communicating well and building trust.
- 04
Leadership
Using her voice, making decisions and taking responsibility.
- 05
Future Readiness
Understanding opportunity, money, image and personal standards.
Signature Curriculum
She will learn it.
Practice it. Own it.

For Parents & Guardians
Questions before she begins.
Clear information for families considering the FINISHING ACADEMY Founding Class.
Who is eligible to participate?
The Founding Class is designed for girls ages 8–12. A parent or legal guardian must submit the inquiry and participate in the enrollment process.
Is this only an etiquette program?
No. Etiquette is one part of a broader leadership-development experience. Students practice communication, confidence, social intelligence, personal presentation, financial awareness and responsible decision-making.
How is the program structured?
Students meet in person twice a month for four months. Each meeting is three hours, for a total of eight guided meetings and 24 program hours. Every meeting combines instruction, discussion and age-appropriate practice.
Does the program include a graduation experience?
Yes. The program concludes with a three-course fine-dining practicum and graduation celebration at a luxury Dallas–Fort Worth establishment. The student’s preselected graduation meal is included in tuition. Parent and guardian tickets will be available for separate purchase. The confirmed venue, menu, dress code, dietary-accommodation process and ticket details will be provided to enrolled families before graduation.
When and where will the Founding Class meet?
The Founding Class is planned for December 2026 in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Confirmed families will receive the complete schedule and location information.
What is expected from parents or guardians?
Parents or guardians provide enrollment information, support attendance and reinforce the academy’s standards at home. Any required family orientation details will be shared before the first session.
How much is tuition, and are payment plans available?
The Founding Class will receive an introductory tuition rate. Tuition details and available payment arrangements are provided directly to parents during the Parent Preview and enrollment process.
Are scholarships available?
One scholarship opportunity is offered each quarter. Scholarship consideration requires a separate review and does not guarantee admission or an award.
Is FINISHING ACADEMY an accredited school?
No. FINISHING ACADEMY is a private enrichment and leadership-development program. It is not an accredited school, college or degree-granting institution.
What happens after I submit an inquiry?
The Admissions team will review your information and contact you with Parent Preview details and the appropriate next step. Submitting an inquiry does not guarantee admission.
