Who we are:

Patricia Napier-Fitzpatrick founded The Etiquette School of New York in Manhattan and Southampton in 2003. The school was created to promote the principles of proper etiquette, good manners, and civil behavior, as well as to equip individuals with the refined social skills and confidence necessary to succeed in both social and professional settings. Even though the school has ceased offering classes and seminars, Patricia will remain an invaluable resource for etiquette and protocol guidance in both social and professional settings.

Since the establishment of her school, Ms. Napier-Fitzpatrick has led etiquette seminars for business organizations, academic institutions, private clubs, young individuals, and many private clients in the New York City area, as well as in various states and countries. She has been featured in such publications as “Business Week,” the “New York Post,” the “New York Times,” “Financial Times,” the “Wall Street Journal,” and others; and, she has appeared on CNN, WNBC, WABC, WNYW, WCBS, CNBC, ABC, and NBC.

Ms. Napier-Fitzpatrick has authored several contemporary etiquette books, drawing on the empowering knowledge she has shared with her clients over the past two decades. These books can be ordered through Amazon and Barnes & Noble, as well as on the “Books” section of her website.
