3. Do I have to stay in the Academy during the classes?

It is not necessary for the guardians to stay for the hour of the class, however, we offer a very enjoyable environment to make this hour a relaxing one for you, too. We enjoy the idea of involving parents together, sharing ideas and experiences that may be beneficial to one another.

4. What can I expect from Hazely Academy?

You will have a more secure and prepared girl to face the challenges that life has to offer. The special skills that she will learn will carry on the rest of her life, creating a more confident and successful woman prepared to conquer and achieve all of her goals and dreams.

5. Did you have  testimonials?

"I signed my daughter and her best friend up for Hazely's classes, both are 9 years old. My daughter who is very outgoing and outspoken, her friend who is more of an introvert.

The girls both finished the 10 week course, last week. Here is what I observed, what the girls learned at Hazely Academy. I will add at the beginning my daughter has been reminded of proper manners by me, her Aunts and grandmother (all were/are professional business women or educators) and it has been a constant reminder, you feel like a recording.

1. Appropriate subjects to talk about. How many of you have been embarrass by what you child has said in public? I have a very outspoken child so I have too many to count...My most memorable one is when she interviewed Derrick Brooks, a photographer told her to move closer to Derek, "he wont bite", the photographer said. My daughter told Derek, "if you bite me, I can take you down!" OK she has a lot of confidence and it was funny..but I was embarrassed.

2. Grooming, my daughter always liked doing her own hair, BUT, I always had to redo it so there were no tangles under her long hair. Somehow only the front was brush right. Now, she really does a better job and we don't argue. How many moms fight to brush their daughters hair?

3. Eating properly, yes we tell them until we are blue in the face, eat with your fork, cut with your knife, chew with your mouth closed. Now I say "what would Hazely say?". Oh my goodness it's like a light blub went off or her computer turned on, and she sits up and makes us proud.

There is more to Hazely Academy than etiquette and refinement but both are sooo needed. Just go to the mall, park or volunteer in the classroom, and watch you will say "my child is better than that" or "I wish my child did that"."

"I cannot believe the transformation that has been made in Tabitha in just a few weeks! She has gone from a shy girl to a confident beautiful petite polite young girl! The difference shows since starting the classes in Hazely Academy, I have been pulled aside by various teachers and caregivers, who have told me about the difference in Tabitha. They have noticed she is much more polite, well mannered and much more confident. She has taken her confidence to the pageants that she has gone. With the experience she had in the Academy she is channeling her energy and new positive self- image onto a positive pursuits, instead of acting out negatively, as many children her age do."

6. What happens if the student misses one of the classes?

Because this is a certified program that involves an official graduation with a diploma, the student’s attendance is required. We understand that emergencies may occur and for this reason we can excuse one absence. Since this is a ten week program, if the student misses a second class then she will not be able to be accredited.

7. Can I be present in the classes?

Girls are usually more open to learning when parents are not present in the room. We have prepared a very accommodating lobby are in which parents and guardians are welcome to wait. The classes are in prepared designated classrooms where our student will have all the necessary equipment for their learning process.

8. Do they graduate?

Yes. Graduation ceremonies will take place the last Saturday of their session. This is a very special event in which your graduate will be recognized and certified for all of her hard work. On this very special day she will be receiving her diploma, one that she can use in the future as reference to her education. Please make sure to mark your date and invite relatives and families.

9. Do you offer classes for boys or adults?

Yes. For boys we offer an etiquette and manners class. For adults, we offer seminars with a variety of themes, including etiquette, self-esteem and confidence, and more. Call about corporate seminars too!
