Civility probably cannot be taught but politeness can be. I see it taught to our grandkids (all < 7 years of age) in the serious private schools they attend. Many/most schools and families don’t “do” politeness any more. This will not end well.

I think of this often and can’t help but consider how the rise of secularism has distorted our priorities. I’m not religious myself, but I’ve craved spirituality in recent years.
