​Raise a Polished & Confident Global Citizen
​​​Imagine your child being known as a Polished Nigerian!
​The Polished Nigerian program by Pelworth is a meticulously designed cultural etiquette immersion created to help you make that vision a reality. Within the walls of our elegant school, your student is invited to join a dynamic circle of peers to practice the art of refinement, honor, and cultural fluency.

​★ What's New For 2026
​Pelworth is the home of The Polished Nigerian Etiquette Program: a brand-new immersive cultural experience that serves our families with a timeless standard of excellence, heritage, and grace, and that welcomes those who love and honor Nigerian culture or who seek to become more acquainted with it.

​What Parents are Saying
​★★★★★ Much Needed
​ "We couldn't be more excited about this new program. Our children previously attended The Lady School program with Lady VJ. That program was impressive and transformative for our children. The Polished Nigerian program will help them gain a much-needed refresher and reminder of who they are, their ancestry, and who they are becoming, a global citizen. This new program is genius. We are definitely looking forward to it."
