"To me, the ritualized exchange of courtesies at a tea gathering illustrates, in microcosm, the central role of etiquette in human life. At tea, as in any other interaction, we are not free to act merely as we please; but we must act with mutual consideration, as befits our interdependence."
Dorthea Johnson, Founder of The Protocol School of Washington
THE ETIQUETTE SCHOOL OF NEW YORK in Manhattan is pleased to present The Protocol School of Washinton's Tea & Etiquette programs. They incorporate the latest in social and business etiquette, with an appreciation of the cultural and historical significance of tea.
To further the enjoyment of tea time, Tea & Etiquette programs include contemporary etiquette for adults and modern manners for children. Each program features a tea menu and participants receive an illustrated pamphlet which highlights the program.

For children, we offer a TEDDY BEAR TEA & ETIQUETTE party for 3, 4 and 5 years olds; and TEA & ETIQUETTE WITH ALICE & WONDERLAND , which is appropriate for 6,7 and 8 year- olds. Each class introduces children to basic etiquette and good manners, and provides them with a feeling of importance as they learn how to interact with others on a more formal basis. .
We invite you to contact us if you are interested in hosting a tutorial tea, or would like to schedule one for yourself.
