Many classical schools host a formal event, often a dance, to give their 9-12 grade students a chance to practice etiquette.

Schools do varying amount of preparation ranging from a whole class on etiquette to a few talks over lunch time about manners and modesty. A formal dinner is usually followed by an event like a concert or a dance. Schools that already have a system in place for group dances that the student have all been taught will have an easier time dancing at protocol.

Below are some example documents provided mostly by The Ambrose School. Amy Yenor, the event coordinator for many Protocols there, said she would be happy to talk with school representatives directly. Her email is: ayenor@theambroseschool.org

The Ambrose School has a great article to share with parents.

Basecamp Live has an article and podcast episode about Protocol.
