Your Culinary Dreams
are Realized Here

We started this School to disrupt the world of culinary education in two very big ways:

1. We teach you in the real culinary world. No classroom. You learn in professional kitchens with renowned chefs. Our research with the top chefs in the country informed us unmistakably that the classroom does not prepare you for the culinary world. Whether you want to work in a five-star restaurant or own your restaurant business, the traditional educational model does not deliver. You need to learn the art of food. You also need to understand the underpinnings of managing a back-of-house (and front-of-house if you want to own your own restaurant) culinary operation. This is the reason some of the most experienced and successful chefs mentor our students.
2. We are very serious about keeping students out of debt. This is our passion and our foundation. It doesn’t make sense to us that people who are passionate about a craft should have to go into soul-crushing debt to get a less-than-adequate education. It makes even less sense for those people to then be forced to try and break into the industry they just spent years and so much money learning about.

This is the CASA difference. We teach you in real kitchens, with seriously amazing chefs, one-on-one. We do this at a fraction of the cost in a quarter of the time you will spend in other traditional culinary education models.

We encourage our students to utilize the built-in flexibility of their schedule while learning. Let’s face it: You may still need to work. Perhaps you have family or other obligations that might complicate a traditional education schedule. We champion flexibility.

This all comes with the most important element of all; connections. You are immersed in real kitchens with real chefs that are looking to hone your skills so they can fast-track the arduous task of retraining someone fresh out of culinary school. This is the largest frustration of the top chefs we worked with to make this program; they have to retrain and work with the students that come out of traditional culinary education.

With CASA, you get to jump into the kitchen and learn from a pro. This is a beautiful equation that gets top chefs working with new chefs. Fast-track everything! The learning, the time, and with no debt.
