	Finishing school - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A finishing school is a type of private school for girls that emphasizes cultural studies and prepares students especially for social activities.
		Switzerland is noted for its private finishing schools, such as Institut Villa Pierrefeu or Institut Alpin Videmanette (now closed), where Diana, Princess of Wales studied, and Mon Fertile, where Camilla Parker Bowles was partly educated.
		It also is known for traditional boarding schools such as Institut Le Rosey, whose alumni include the last Shah of Iran and Rainier III of Monaco.

	About Us
		The Finishing School is a haven for the experienced professional seeking more knowledge, an easier way, and the finest decorative painting techniques to enhance their portfolio and give them a competitive edge.
		The school also welcomes beginners from every background who's interest brings them looking for a solid foundation in decorative painting, an inspiration to begin a new career, or a chance to work on their own environment.
		Robert Marx, the school's executive director and co-author of Professional Painted Finishes, is a talented instructor and painter.

	Talk:Finishing school - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most other Finishing Schools have ceased their activities (institut la Videmanette where Princess Diana went) or specialised in another field (for examples: Lucy Clayton's Finishing School is now a secretarial school that also teaches deportment).
		Deportment is only a small part of what is taught in Finishing School, but it is the vision of the Anglo-Saxon press....
		This is the reason why when someone is serious about doing a documentary about the Finishing Schools or starting one in a country, they always go back to the same two schools.

	Finishing school flop - The Washington Times: Commentary - September 27, 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Before John Kerry, the only alumni of Swiss finishing schools I had ever met (in my younger days) were a certain type of lively English girl, a couple of minor princesses from Gulf emirates and a charming young Iranian lady whose family had been forced to flee after the shah fell.
		Nonetheless, barely had the prime minister finished when the absentee senator did a daytime version of his midnight ramble and barged his way on to the air to insist he knew better than Iraq's head of government what was going on in that country.
		After their schooling in Switzerland, those well-mannered English gels used to describe themselves as "finished." If he wasn't "finished" after graduating from the Institut Montana in Zug in 1955, this week John Kerry is looking finished in a far more American sense.

	Las Vegas Mercury: Books: The Finishing School by Muriel Spark
		Muriel Spark's satirical attacks on English intelligentsia have a surgical detachment; she wields irony like a scalpel rather than a hatchet, although being from Scotland, a convert to Catholicism and an expatriate for decades, her vision is prickly enough in its implications.
		The Finishing School is a fairly slender novel, and Spark does not shrink from moving it along with starkly expository passages.
		Most of the students are as thin on the page as they would be in real life, and it's hard to imagine their actions illustrating any greater degree of insight; the school staff and supporting characters, presented in brief but resonant sketches, are as developed as they need to be.

		In fact, the school itself is questionable as it caters to students who, for various reasons, are unable to attend established institutions.
		Nina begins an affair with a neighbor, one of the students becomes pregnant by the gardener, and, at the end of the term, the school's continued existence is precarious.
		Right now, the school has nine students, aged sixteen and up, each supported by well-off parents and each made touching, memorable, or amusing by the merest stroke or two of the Sparkian brush.

	Powell's Books - Review-a-Day - The Finishing School by Muriel Spark, reviewed by The Atlantic Monthly
		Her new novel, The Finishing School, satirically assails, among other things, the culture of spectacle that has grown up around novel-writing, and in particular around novel-writing by attractive young people.
		The Finishing School, like several of her most recent books (Symposium, Aiding and Abetting) has a somewhat anorexic quality; Spark's austere principle "Never apologize, never explain" is embodied in storytelling of a fablelike simplicity and directness.
		The novel, like The Finishing School, is much concerned with the erotics of teaching, that contradictory authority of the teacher who seduces and bullies at the same time, and the primitive ways in which people know and label one another at school.

		In short, The Finishing School is a compact but effective criticism of “the privileged” class of society with their laisser-faire attitude.
