At Lafayette Academy: A Classical School, manners and etiquette are not simply expectations, they are foundational to how the school day begins and how students are formed.In this episode, Katy McKinney explains why manners matter beyond social niceties and how classical education treats etiquette as a form of daily formation. From the first moments of the school day, students are taught how to carry themselves with respect, self-control, and attentiveness to others.Katy shares why these habits are intentionally taught, how they shape a child’s character over time, and why manners are essential preparation for life, not just for the classroom.For more information about Lafayette Academy, A Classical School please visit https://lafayetteacademy.org/For Referenced Resources from the LadyK Podcast Click Here for Download
