Our Nobel Prize Inspirational Experts

Mother St. Teresa of Calcutta

She won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for her humanitarian work. She teaches how to find Christ in every individual, serve with a selfless heart, and only speak in ways of charity. Her famous quotes, our manners school relates to the most, are "If you want to bring happiness to the whole world, go home and love your family," as well as "It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. Bring love into your home, for this is where our love for each other must start." Joy starts in the home and with good parenting examples of Christ-centred charity.

Reuven Feurstein

He won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2012 for his work in cognitive learning strategies. He recognized that cognitive abilities are not fixed and can be enhanced through targeted strategies that meet the learner along their journey. Anyone with learning disabilities can experience the same outcomes, but in different ways of adapting and applying the knowledge so it resonates with them. His conclusions on teaching methods relate to how God teaches us in Scripture to meet the heart at any point in their journey.

Anne Sullivan

She was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1920 for her work with Helen Keller, which aimed to create a tactile, experiential method for the deaf and blind. Using the surroundings to make learning more desirable, active, energetic, and deeply personal. Her teaching method blossomed when there was more structure on obedience and interaction. By coming to know that the teacher is there for you, the student overcame fear in learning and abandonment for not getting something immediately.

Maria Montessori

She was nominated for numerous Nobel Peace Prizes from 1949-1951 for her work in peaceful education. This was rooted in self-directed activities, hands-on learning, and independence in learning. She taught that children learn best when they are learning at their own pace, according to their own developmental strengths. Having an organized environment with things that are at their height and skill level gave children a sense of consistency and safety to develop fine motor skills. When children engage in things that interest them, it develops deeper responsibility and becomes meaningful work for them.

Our Teaching Style

Here's a glimpse of our holistic teaching style and what you can expect.

Manners Principle

First, we will provide age-appropriate manners that are good to instill in your child permanently.

Practical Tips

Our Christ-centered approach teaches children to develop emotional intelligence through reason and logic, following the way Christ instructs us in Scripture. Inspired by Anne Sullivan’s work with Helen Keller, we use tactile, meaningful interaction alongside Reuven Feuerstein’s Mediated Learning principles to help all types of learners find depth and understanding. Lessons merge holistic parenting with experiential, sense-rich instruction, engaging children physically and emotionally. Parents are guided to weave manners into everyday moments, linking actions to values. This dual approach fosters early communication, reduces tantrums, and nurtures thoughtful, empathetic reasoning from the earliest years.

Virtues & Love Languages

Next, we focus on naming virtues and the love language behind each action as we teach manners. This helps children recognize and reinforce good behaviour, strengthen discernment between right and wrong, and build confidence. Through vocal affirmation of virtues, children develop moral clarity and the ability to navigate the world with conviction and a grounded understanding of truth.

Dangers When Ignored

Finally, we highlight the vices that can arise when these manners are not formed, as well as the discernment misunderstandings that often lead to poor moral choices, ensuring children recognize both the good to pursue and the pitfalls to avoid. By grounding children in a shared understanding of virtues and clearly defining what constitutes vice, we help them grasp objective moral truths. This foundation reduces moral confusion, counters the individualistic mindset of ‘I know better,’ and guides children to live according to the principles established by Christ.

By fusing moral modelling, sensory-rich holistic education, and reflective guidance, our approach creates nurturing, intentional homes. Children grow not only to be well-mannered, but also emotionally intelligent, morally discerning, and intellectually curious—truly embodying our foundational philosophy.

12 Pillars of Manners

Most etiquette schools touch on only three areas—but we teach twelve, covering every walk of life so families are never left to guess what virtue looks like in any setting. Our Twelve Pillars of Manners mirror the biblical meaning of 12: completeness, perfection, and divine order. Just as the Twelve Apostles, Tribes, and heavenly gates reflect the fullness of God's design, our program forms a complete moral compass for children.
