Celeste Jones - Founder

Celeste Jones founded the Elementary Etiquette Society in 1993. After years of international modeling and rewriting modeling schools' curriculum, Jones discovered that the modeling schools had replaced the charm schools. She decided to bring back the charm school with a modernized approach that based its premise on enhancing emotional intelligence to promote good character, social skills, and better presentation ability. Jones began training models and then expanded upon consumer demand to increasing self-confidence with youth through manner lessons and through adults for image enhancement. This led to speaking at universities on business protocol and doing seminars with companies on client relations, which catapulted to working with corporations on sales effectiveness and customer service excellence. Jones acted as the protocol advisor to a private aviation company for over two years, and increased revenue profit margins and clientele by over 25 percent annually.

Jones is the author of children's manner books and creator of etiquette games and is represented by exclusive boutiques and department stores across the country such as FAO Schwartz, Neiman Marcus, and others listed on the client page. The unique method of teaching has made her programs very popular and highly effective. Jones' teaching style is challenging, interactive, exciting, and specifically designed and tailored to fit each organization and business focus, and their demographics, interests, needs, goals, and timelines.

Jones has gained multi-media coverage through Robb Report, Forbes, Life Styles of the Rich and Famous, MTV and more as listed on the media page.  Jones has a passion for giving back and donates her time and programs to many rotating charities and schools.

Celeste Jones is currently attending the Harvard University Graduate School of Educational Intensive Study, and holds an M.S. in the Science of Organizational Management, Certification in Protocol, B.A. degree in English Literature, and a Culinary Degree.
