When you attend a one of America’s Top Culinary Schools you can expect training in the following areas in culinary arts:

  • baking and pastry arts

What to look for when choosing a school?

When choosing from the range of top Culinary Schools, it is important to look for membership of the Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities, which represents and maintains standards of Top Culinary Schools nationally.

Some of the Top Schools from around the US (in our opinion) are:

  • Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) in New York City
  • Culinary Institute of America
  • Texas Culinary Academy in Austin
  • California Culinary Academy in San Francisco
  • The International Culinary School in Washington
  • Kendall College School of Culinary Arts in Chicago
