Overview of Kitchen Academy

Kitchen Academy is a professional culinary school operating two California campuses: in Hollywood and in Sacramento. The Academy prides itself on its non classroom-based format, which distinguishes it from traditional culinary arts schools. Kitchen Academy's culinary training is 100% hands-on and its full program is shorter and more affordable than those found at most traditional culinary schools. Classes start eight times each year and the daily class schedule provides three convenient options including 6 AM, noon, and evening sessions.

Areas of Study

Kitchen Academy offers two general diploma programs which can be completed in as few as 30 weeks. The Professional Culinary Arts Diploma Program, offered at both campuses, teaches a proven base of fundamentals as well as advanced culinary arts techniques. The Professional Baking and Pastry Diploma Program, offered at the Sacramento campus only, builds on the fundamentals and accelerates to topics in advanced baking and decorating methodologies.

The Academy's students are individuals seeking to prepare for a culinary career on a fast track and requiring the convenience of morning, afternoon, or evening classes to fit their particular lifestyles. Many of them are motivated by the school's affordability and short program duration.

Kitchen Academy Student Life

Both Kitchen Academy campuses feature custom-designed stainless steel professional dual-student workstations, which are stocked with quality equipment, supplies, and ingredients all at the student's fingertips.
