The Savoy Standard

Good manners are only the beginning.

This is social intelligence, communication, and presence development designed for the rooms young people are entering now and the opportunities awaiting them later.

  • Confident introductions, greetings, listening, and conversation
  • Posture, composure, grooming, and personal presentation
  • Dining etiquette and place setting navigation
  • Courtesy, civility, respect, and social awareness
  • Digital etiquette and responsible communication
  • Reading the room, personal brand, and opportunity readiness

Quiet Confidence. Lasting Presence.

Prepared for the room before the invitation arrives.

Poise cannot be borrowed at the door. It must already belong to them. Students learn to show consideration without surrendering confidence, to move with intention, and to understand that every choice introduces them before they ever say a word.

With practice, refinement becomes instinct. They arrive at the table composed, enter conversation assured, and meet opportunity already prepared.

Before You Apply

Details for families.

A thoughtful beginning.

If you would like guidance before applying, tell us your child’s age group and what you hope the Academy will help them approach with greater ease. Conversation, social confidence, and dining etiquette are all welcome places to begin.

Inquire About the Academy

Our inquiry form opens on the Contact page. Please begin your message with “Spring 2027 Youth Academy” and include the age group you are considering, your questions, and your preferred contact method. A parent or guardian may inquire on a student’s behalf.

May I speak with someone before applying?

Of course. Use our website inquiry form to share the age group you are considering and what you would most like your child to gain. We would be pleased to help you consider the appropriate cohort.

Does an application reserve a place?

An inquiry begins a conversation, and an application requests consideration. A place is confirmed only after acceptance and receipt of full tuition. No payment is required to apply, and venue details will be confirmed before payment is requested.

Where will classes be held?

Classes will be held at a private Charlotte area venue. The exact location and arrival instructions will be shared with enrolled families.

How large is each class?

Each cohort is capped at 12 students. This allows for personal instruction, active participation, and meaningful guided practice.

When is tuition due?

No payment is required to apply. After acceptance and confirmation of venue details, full tuition is due to confirm the student's place.

What is the application deadline?

Applications close March 23, 2027 at midnight Eastern, or earlier if a cohort fills. Families may request the waitlist after a cohort reaches capacity.
