Join Dean Pollak every Wednesday for a “hump day” cocktail from 5:30-6:00 PM EST. Free for all & questions welcome! (Just send us your email to receive an invite…)

Learn the classic dishes & drinks every Academy graduate knows by heart: Suzanne's Southern Biscuits, The Art of the Old Fashioned and 8-Hour Slow Roast Pork.

From one-on-one Conversation Skills to Table Manners for every setting, the art of feeling at ease in a crowd is a subject anyone can master with the Academy's help.

Keep the Bachelor Party out of trouble with our Boy's Club brunch & bourbon class; let us host your Bridal Shower (and design your registry) or perhaps a Rehearsal Dinner at the Academy.

Florals 101, Interior Design, and Table Settings for any occasion all happen to be our specialties. Tailor a class to fit your interests, and leave the rest up to us!

Take a class based on any of the great tomes co-authored by Dean Pollak: the Academy Handbook, the Conroy cookbook, Entertaining for Dummies...or even "Cooking with Cameran" of Southern Charm.

Whether serving a sweetheart Breakfast in Bed, Packing Lunches for the whole gang, or preparing Essential Dinners from scratch, the Dean demonstrates how simple & satisfying home cooking can be. 

Men, keep your ladies, babies and buds happy with a few basic standbys in the kitchen, from Prime Rib to a perfect omelette. Recipe Tutorial and Brunch/Bourbon at the Academy.

Learn how to create a menu, write a timeline, shop and prep, efficiently set a table, make pitchers of cocktails, cook and entertain just like Cameran did on Bravo TV's Southern Charm.

Ideal for company parties or visitors looking for a quintessential Charleston experience: learn to make the Dean's Gumbo and roast Carolina Oysters at a prime outdoors location.

Let the Dean show you how to build a silver collection and put it to regular use -- from St. Cecilia's for your punch bowl to Rockefeller for oyster forks. Lesson/Recipe Tutorial at the Academy.

A one-on-one session with the Dean of the Academy is equal parts cooking, entertaining and social skills tutorial.  Tell us what you're looking for & we will tailor to suit! Single sessions or sets available.
