personal development. Being co-educational and offering boarding options, The
Mann School offers a more comprehensive and diverse education compared to
traditional Finishing Schools that only served young women. The Mann School aims
to produce well-rounded, confident, and cultured individuals who are prepared
for success in various aspects of their lives.
