As a co-educational day and boarding school, The Mann School
plays a role as a modern finishing school, providing education in a wider range
of subjects than traditional Finishing Schools while still incorporating some
of the traditional elements such as character development, manners, and
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.
Main features of Finishing School:
Character Development: Finishing Schools place a strong
emphasis on character development and personal growth, skills such as manners, etiquette,
and social graces.
Cultural Refinement: Finishing Schools aim to impart knowledge
and skills in various cultural refinements, such as fashion, dance, art, and
literature.
Social Skills: These schools also focus on teaching social
skills and etiquette, preparing students for success in social and professional
interactions.
Personal Development: Finishing Schools strive to promote
personal growth, self-confidence, and independence in their students.
Career Preparation: While traditionally focused on preparing
students for entry into elite society, modern Finishing Schools also provide
training and education relevant to specific careers or industries.
Holistic Approach: Finishing Schools aim to provide a
holistic education that encompasses a range of subjects and skills, not just
academic subjects.
Evolved Curriculum: The curriculum of modern Finishing Schools
has evolved to include subjects beyond traditional finishing school courses, and
has included aspects such as leadership, communication, and financial
management, to better prepare students for success in the 21st century.
MSFS with the motto ‘ELEGANCE IS AN ATTITUDE’ believes in
the notion of ‘SAVOIR VIVRE’ and is centred around personality development
initiatives for the holistic & overall development of the students.
Formerly referred to as ‘Finishing Institutions’, Finishing Schools are places
where students learn morals, discipline, etc. focusing on teaching social
graces and upper-class-cultural rites as a preparation for entry into society.
To become well-groomed, one must go beyond high school graduation and aim to make
a name.
What age should one attend Finishing School?
Attending Finishing Schools does not have a standard age
range. But then, it is mainly attended by young boys and girls preparing for
life, even young adults. A year or two is often required to complete a
finishing program. It also serves as a bridge between the conclusion of school
and the beginning of professional life.
What is the Significance of Finishing School?
Finishing Institutions are essential for every child and are
an excellent resource for teaching young men & women the proper manners,
behaviour, and demeanour expected in society and the skills which are important
to balance professional as well as personal life.
What does Finishing School teach?
MSFS teaches you all the aspects that you may need to know
to become a well-groomed individual. From teaching how to dress appropriately,
to dining, good housekeeping, greetings, and other social etiquette and
demeanour, professional & social skills, personality development, etc. It
makes a gentleman out of a boy and a lady out of a girl.
Why is Finishing School needed in today's time?

the rapid speed at which the world is transforming it is essential for everyone
to be upbeat with the mannerisms required to survive and excel while dealing
with different people. Finishing School polishes one's skills and ensures that

which supports both the teachers & students to go through a life-altering
