Caswell House Etiquette Class

Austin Junior Forum is no longer offering Etiquette Classes
Class Description:
The Caswell House Etiquette Class is a six-week program, beginning in mid-June and ending in July. Enrollment is limited to 12 students per class and is open to both girls and boys.
Essential Etiquette is for students ages 6-13 and meets on Wednesdays, 6:00 - 7:00 pm. This is the program the Caswell House has offered for the past several years. Topics include:
Social Skills | Dining Skills |
Introducing Yourself & Others |
Setting a Proper Table |
All classes will be held at The Caswell House, 1404 West Avenue at 15th Street. Attendance is required at all lessons for a student to receive a certificate of completion at the final lesson.
Parents are expected to drop-off and pick-up their students on time.
Students should dress casually for Lessons 1-5. For Lesson 6, students should wear dressy attire: girls should wear dresses or suits, and boys should wear coat and tie. Lesson 6 will combine both Wednesday sessions into one formal dinner event from 6:30 - 8:30 pm.
Some food will be provided at each lesson. In most cases, it will be just enough food to practice specific dining skills, not a full meal. If your student has any allergies or dietary restrictions, please let us know at the time of enrollment.
If you have questions about this program, please contact us.
There is a registration fee for attending the class. Proceeds benefit the preservation projects of the Caswell House, which is a city, state, and national historic landmark. The Caswell House Etiquette Class is staffed by Austin Junior Forum volunteers, and all instructors are donating their time and expertise.
