Welcome to the online home of Miss Vera’s Finishing School For Boys Who Want To Be Girls, the world’s first crossdressing academy, located in New York City and known across the globe.

I am Veronica Vera, your dean of students, founder and author. Miss Vera’s was created in the early 90’s to service the needs of the thousands of men who have the desire to crossdress, whether for a day or a lifetime. We’ve become so popular that non-trans women, too, flock to our doors. Providing both a learning experience and a pampering session, I and my faculty of expert and caring deans are here for you. And we expect you to be the best you can be.

What we look for in a student is enthusiasm and a desire to explore. We’ll supply the guidance, the wigs and the wardrobe in an uplifting environment. With clothing as our props we support you in your quest for freedom of expression, so that no matter what your fashion statement, you can be a happier, healthier, sexier human being. Our commitment is to style, from help with putting together your look or looks, as well as teaching you integrity of lifestyle.

Our academy motto is “Cherchez la femme”. In French, the verb “chercher” means “to look for” or “to look to”. It’s perfect for you, dear student, as you “look for” the woman inside of you and “look to” women for guidance. Our lessons are based on a philosophy I refer to as “Venus Envy.” I believe that for every woman who burned her bra, there is a man eager to wear one.

In the years since our Academy’s inception, multitudes of gender explorers have visited us from across the country and around the world. Thousands more have read my two academy books. The first bears the name, Miss Vera’s Finishing School for Boys Who Want To Be Girls, the second is Miss Vera’s Crossdress for Success. If you are ready to begin your academy transformation, I invite you to take a tour through our site to learn of the many ways you can participate. If you think you might like to visit us on campus, please download our enrollment application.
