California School of Culinary Arts

CSCA has become a respected culinary school. Our expertise, along with the ever-growing influence of our graduates, is helping to set the bar for the future and beyond. Founded in 1994, the CSCA faculty includes respected, experienced chefs who can help turn out confident and successful graduates. We are one of the few culinary schools in America to partner with the internationally renowned Le Cordon Bleu - one of the leading authorities on culinary techniques, training, and development for over a century. CSCA offers the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu Diplôme through three different programs: An Associate of Occupational Studies Degree Program in Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts, a Diploma Program in Le Cordon Bleu Hospitality & Restaurant Management, and a Diploma Program in Le Cordon Bleu Pâtisserie & Baking.

Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts Program
Associate of Occupational Studies Degree
California School of Culinary Arts is a partner with the internationally renowned Le Cordon Bleu -one of the leading authorities on culinary techniques, training and development for over a century. The LCB emblem can help open doors in this industry. As a result, students in the Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts Program are afforded opportunities to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to help them excel in the culinary world. Graduates of the program also receive the Le Cordon Bleu Diplôme.

At CSCA, instruction begins with classical French techniques and terminology, and progresses to innovative, modern application. Culinary students work beside industry-trained Chef Instructors who are committed to excellence in culinary arts education. Lab classes are small with every student having the opportunity to complete every facet of the lesson plan. Students are tested on individual performance and work habits, and Chef Instructors carefully monitor each student's progress. We believe this approach is the only way to ensure our students get the attention they need to be fully trained in our curriculum.
