Culinary Arts & Hospitality Academy

Feeding Dreams. Building Futures

The Culinary Arts Academy will allow students to master techniques through hands–on learning and practice. The program is designed to provide students with the technical knowledge that they can apply the first day on the job and to increase their opportunities for continuing their training in a post-secondary school. The culinary program will provide the fundamentals of safety and sanitation practices, basic knife skills, menu planning, and food production skills. Additional skills such as the management of the front and back of the house and guest relations are also included in the curriculum. From culinary techniques to management skills, students gain practical, life-long skills and can build their resume with internships and real-world experience.
