Parent’s Comments

“Rachel has really enjoyed the classes – she doesn’t want them to end.  It’s been nice to have life lessons reinforced by and taught in a professional way.  Thanks!  Rachel just had her birthday party, and after receiving her gifts, she was very expressive.  She thanked everyone really expressing her gratefulness, and appreciation to them.  All through her party she was very gracious and hospitable.  I commended her, and her response was;  “Well thanks to my “Princess Esthers” classes, I learned to be thankful for everything, and how important it is to tell people that I am, and treat them with kindness!” 

I was astonished, and had to tell you – thank you for everything…..

“Thank you so much for your expertise and experience. Jenna has really enjoyed her time here and her new friends and is sad that it is over. Thank you for enriching her! I believe Colleen and her team are doing an excellent job incorporating lessons with fun! My daughter thoroughly enjoyed every lesson, and shared what she learned with her friends. She speaks up and is a positive role model to them.”

Student’s Comments

One of my favourite parts of the Esthers School was when we played the “Apple of His Eye Game”—
I liked to eat the apples, and I learned that just because every apple looks a bit different on the outside, but is made the same on the inside—just like us as people—we need to treat others with respect and honour them, even though they look different than us!” Tolu—age 6

I have noticed great improvement in the way my daughter now stands and walks - she has much better poise!       many parents from the Esthers graduates Parent's Noted Improvements:

Each week’s lessons will cover and include instruction
in the three areas listed below:

1. Personality = 65% of our beauty comes from within. Our personality, attitude and how we think are what really make us beautiful people. (spirit & soul)

2. Posture = 25% of our beauty is portrayed to others through our Posture. How we carry ourselves shows how we really feel about ourselves. We will even feel better when we use good posture. We can breathe easier and move with more grace when we use good posture to stand, move, walk and sit.

Appearance = Only 10% of our beauty is made up of our looks. Our facial structure, hair, eye and skin colour, body shape and size, etc. are not what make us beautiful to others. People’s likes and dislikes will always change according to their feelings, and personal preferences, but our individual appearance is how God wanted us to look. He created us as He desired us to look, and He says He is well pleased with His creation. ‘He doesn’t make junk.’ We are more precious than jewels, silver & gold. Our uniqueness makes us who we are, and our looks are only a part of our beauty.

We are to make the best of our appearance by good grooming, posture, and our personal selections. But our outer appearances are only the finishing touch to our inner character, which is where our true beauty begins.

Each of our classes will contain a balance of weekly lessons in the three above categories:

1) Personality 65% 2) Posture 25% 3) Appearance 10%

thus training and developing a well rounded balance to the students and their development.

They learn as they are interacting, practising lessons, completing crafts, and developing their individual talents.

This is a highly effective yet fun method of learning for teen ladies!

I look forward to instructing your child/teen.

With Grace & Beauty…...Colleen S. Kosti-Director
