We elevate through artistry.

Throughout the year we offer multiple courses and a couple of programs that have been purposefully designed to refine our students' Being, from their interior self to their exterior. Through knowledge, exploration, contemplation, and experience - we push our students to delve deeper, think broader, aim higher. And the first step on their finishing journey is our Student Application.

We consider each application with care.

The Student Application is our way of getting to know prospective students and determine if they are the right fit for the Balissande journey. The application is divided into multiple parts. It starts with basic information and progresses to questions that focus on ambitions, interests, experiences, values, and character. We want to know the person behind the computer screen.

We make applying quick and easy.

Applying to Balissande Finishing School is quick and easy. All you need to do is pay the application fee and fill out the questionnaire. The process takes less than 1 hour to complete. The fee is non-refundable and does not include or cover tuition for any of the courses or programs offered at the school. The fee is an investment that helps us maintain our high standards. It reflects our commitment to train future leaders around the world.

We make enrolling simple.

Balissande Finishing School is an online school. Students can enroll in courses and programs anywhere, at any time, even while traveling around the world. Once they have been accepted, they will be sent a link to the course or program they desire. There they can enroll with just a few clicks. Before applying, we recommend applicants verify the cost of the course or program they are interested in and if it is still open to enrollment. They can do this on our website: BalissandeFinishingSchool.com. Application acceptances are valid for 1 year. Seats in a course or program can only be reserved for 1 month. After 1 month, seats revert back to the first-come first-served system.
UPDATE: To enroll in a finishing school program, you must first successfully complete our 5-Week Elite Fashion and Style course. The course was separated from our 17-Week Finishing School Program; lengthened and intensified it; and then turned into the first segment of our finishing school program. It is a separate segment with its own tuition. It provides its own set of lessons, anecdotes, tips, guides, recommendations, assignments, quizzes, and critiques. Please visit our website for information: BalissandeFinishingSchool.com

  • If my acceptance is denied, is my application fee returned?

    No. The application fee is non-refundable.

  • Do you deny applicants entrance?

    Yes. Not all applicants are suited for Balissande Finishing School. Applications may be denied for a few reasons. 1) For oppugnant characteristics like racism, parasitism, and antagonism. 2) For being spoiled and disrespectful. Programs at Balissande are relatively demanding. And our teachers are employed to teach, inspire, guide, and motivate. They are not employed to be servants, babysitters, or enablers. 3) For insufficient knowledge of English and the internet programs. You do not need to have advanced knowledge. But you do need to have enough knowledge to read the lessons, respond to our questions, answer test questions, and navigate the online classroom. 4) For lack of motivation. We do not want students who are being pushed and dragged to our school by their family or partners. Again, our programs are relatively demanding. They require students to have the motivation needed to not only learn but to also do their own reading, practicing, and research.

  • Do you offer scholarships, discounts, or layaways?

    No. Balissande does not offer scholarships, discounts, or layaway opportunities. The full price must be paid at the time of enrollment.

  • After an application is accepted, how long does the acceptance last?

    Balissande runs on a limited-quantity format. Once the maximum number of students is reached, the course or program closes to new applicants. So Balissande can only keep seats available up to one month. However, your acceptance lasts one year. So, if you pass the one month deadline for enrollment, you can still enroll once a seat is available, without reapplying. If you need any help, please email us.

  • After submitting an application, how long does it take to receive an answer?

    Once an application has been successfully submitted, applicants will receive an answer within 7 business days.

Please double-check that you are enrolling in the correct course or program. And please be certain you have sufficient time to study.

  • Are refunds provided to students who leave before completion?

    No. Refunds are not given to students who are expelled, suspended, enrolled improperly, forced to leave early, too busy to attend, or who are no longer interested.

  • Can men apply?

    We currently do not offer any courses or programs for men. However, if a man is interested in learning female-focused etiquette, deportment, and style, we welcome you. Please email us first to make sure our course or program fits your needs.

If the course or program is open at the time the application was submitted, we reserve a seat for the accepted applicant, for one month.

  • Do I need to submit any documents with the application?

    You do not need to attach any documents like high school report cards, college transcripts, standardized test scores, passport information, visa information, recommendation letters, or medical reports. If we need any other information or documents from you, we will let you know.
