Science & Math, Culinary Arts
The Culinary Arts program combines the science behind food preparation and lab-like hands-on learning to prepare students for careers in the food service industry or further study. Students start with kitchen safety, sanitation, equipment use, and basic cooking techniques, then advance to more complex culinary and baking skills, including preparation for the NYC Department of Health Food Protection Certification. Highlights include visiting Essex Street Market for guest chef demonstrations, participating in a cake decorating class where they bake, design, and cost out a cake for a fictitious client, and completing a senior Cafe Project that involves planning and running a caf for school staff. Students also take the NOCTI Prep Cook Certification Exam, and benefit from career and scholarship opportunities through our partnership with Careers through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP).
