For the past 30 years, The Finishing School has gained a reputation for providing outstanding sewing instruction to hundreds of youth as well as to adults learning for the first time. They have been privileged to see generations of students come through their doors.
In late 2006, owner and founder, Sue Hess Fenton, was able to fulfill her vision of expanding the curriculum to include cooking and life skills classes after finding the perfect spot to relocate the School to. After nearly 20 years in Olympus Cove, The Finishing School is now located in one of Holladay's original pioneer homes.
The Finishing School continues the tradition of offering highly skilled teacher-specialists in each area of interest. Youth Classes are offered year round. Hour-long children's classes in sewing and cooking/life skills are available weekdays after school and on Saturday mornings during the school year. During the summer months, a ten-week-long Summer Session runs from mid-June through mid-August.
History and charm abound, making The Finishing School the perfect place to host Private Themed Children's Birthday Parties. The School also provides Youth Group Activity Nights to church and community groups. Adult Sewing and Cooking Classes are also offered, with classes from beginning to advanced levels.
