The Academy of Business Management and Culinary Arts focuses on preparing students with the technical skills they need for college and career readiness. This dynamic program offers access to state-of-the-art technology and real-world, high-level industry experience in both business and culinary fields. Students benefit from paid and unpaid internships, job shadowing opportunities, mentoring, and strong partnerships through Grant Associates and the Careers through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP). Our Culinary Strand is New York State CTE approved. A highlight of the program is 'JD's Place", the academy's on-site restaurant, where students apply their culinary and business skills in a real-world setting. This culminating experience reflects the integration of both strands, allowing students to collaborate and innovate. The Business & Finance strand is part of the Future Ready NYC (FRNYC) initiative and includes college pathway courses, 1:1 advising, and extensive exposure to industry practices. Students also operate 'Dewey Design and Print', an on-site student-run company that builds practical experience in marketing, design, and entrepreneurship. All students in this academy will take Career and Financial Management, ensuring they graduate with a strong foundation in professional and financial literacy.
