General Program Description

The S.O.E. Academy (formerly The School of Esther) is one of the premier programs of the Gold Medallion Foundation and is designed to prepare “tweens” and teens to excel and succeed in social, spiritual and academic endeavors.

S.O.E. I (ages 13-14) and SOE II (age 14-17) will impact the lives of teens in areas of confident behavior at home and in public places. S.O.E. II is designed to not only build confident behaviors, but to enable each student to begin to identify aptitudes as well as tap into potential career choices. Level I and Level II social introductions, building healthy male/female relationships, social dance and dining etiquette prepare students for social interactions. Public speaking, career exploration and conflict management workshops contribute to building refined youth who are prepared to compete academically and socially.

Classes are taught by highly trained educators and mentors from various professional backgrounds. Emphasis is placed on relational skills that foster respectful behavior producing confident and productive citizens and individuals who make valuable contributions to society.
