Testimonials
"We can't begin to tell you how much Brittany enjoyed your course! We were so pleased at how quickly she picked up on the lessons. We were surprised that when faced with the choice of cheerleading practice or your classes, she quickly chose your classes, hands down! We've noticed a difference in her level of self-confidence. I highly recommend Ms. McKee's courses to all parents. We all need a little help sometimes."
"Enrolling my teens in Ms. McKee's course at The Etiquette School of America was a smart decision. The dining skills learned were put into immediate practice, making us more at ease when we dine out and when our son and daughter are guests of others. I highly recommend this course because as teens form their future plans, these etiquette skills will be a factor in reaching their goals."

"My boys truly enjoyed the learning experience. I was amazed at the breadth of material you covered and how much of it the boys retained."
Ms. W Holland
Without a doubt, Maralee is one of the most popular things we’ve ever done on the Z88.3 FM Positive Hits Morning Show. She’s been on every Monday for more than five years. Our listeners love her. Many of us long to be gracious, kind, courteous, and civil people. Her advice is priceless. She makes manners relevant and fun.
