Culinary Arts Program
The 40-week Culinary Arts Program is a comprehensive curriculum that takes a purposeful approach to developing culinary skills by teaching a technique based production in a team format.
We have small class sizes and provide individualized attention. From the first day of classes, you will be introduced to a industry-current professional kitchen where you will be taught to prepare classic Ecoffier recipes as well as those that reflect current trends throughout the culinary world.
The curriculum also includes a 3-week, off-site Farm To Table® Experience, during which you will have the opportunity to experience the passion and commitment local family farmers and artisan producers have for sustainable farming practices.
