Debutante
Alumnae Program
The turn of the millennium brought forth
the announcement of The Potter’s House Debutante Alumnae Program. The Debutante Alumnae Program is an extension
of the Core Debutante Program and was designed to provide a continuum of
personal relationship and learning for the Debutantes that have and will
graduate from the Core Program.
In addition to
focusing on higher order thinking and life skills, the program provides focus
in the areas of self-awareness ad personal productivity. The pursuit of and success in higher
education institutions is also a key area of focus. Curriculum spans activities that prepare the
Debutantes for college; teach them how to survive the transition from college
to the world or work, and examines the many decisions that surround the pursuit
of graduate level education. Alumnae
Debutantes are also trained to serve as “big sisters” to the Junior Debutantes
and peer mentor to the Core Debutantes.
Debutante Program
The Debutante Program was born out of the
vision of First Lady Jakes that our daughters be ushered into their promise by
the wisdom, mentoring, and life coaching we afford them in love. The main pillars at the center of the
program’s framework are:
·
A
strong spirit of awareness
·
A
spirit of excellence.
·
Chaste
behavior
·
A sweet aroma of feminine behavior
The debutantes are chosen based on the
following criteria: Achieve and maintain
a B or higher academic standing; maintain a membership in good standing at a local
church, and demonstrate outstanding character, leadership, dependability, and
service in school and/or the community.
Core Debutantes are between the ages of 15 to 17; Junior Debutantes are
between 12 and 14 years of age.
Trained mentors are assigned to work with
the debutantes and are required to present before them an exemplary
lifestyle. Sessions in faith, etiquette,
chastity, finances, and human relationships are addressed during the
Debutante’s seven months of training.
The end of their training culminates with a consecration dinner.
