We quietly open Early Bird registration each March for families who like to plan ahead.

If cotillion is already on your radar for this fall, this is the time to secure your spot at the lowest tuition before we pause for the summer.

Classes begin in October.
Early Bird is open through March 31: PoliteWendell.com
