Integrated Coursework

The CASA approach is designed to maximize learning and retention. Concepts are introduced and
then immediately put into practice within a real-world environment. Apprentices learn to integrate their creative visions
with practical application, building insight and technique in a holistic manner.

Apprenticeships/Externships

Mastering technique to achieve vision is the hallmark of a great chef. Direct training, communication and oversight by a great chef is the quick, efficient way to learn.

REAL Restaurants

Where jobs get filled.

When jobs become available, our students are often the first to know and get hired.

Long story short:

Our way just makes sense.

Our mentors want to hire people like you.

CASA. The apprenticeship model culinary school.

Chef Joseph FrielExecutive Chef / CASA Faculty / Mentor

“As a mentor apprentice (extern) prodigy myself, I can’t say enough about this approach to culinary education. It’s the sink-or-swim mentality that gives young chefs the opportunity to achieve their goals in a much more efficient manner.”

Chef Hany AliExecutive Chef / CASA Faculty / Mentor

“Being a product of an apprenticeship (externship) program, I cannot say enough about it and believe it’s the best way to go. On-the-job experience is invaluable. You can’t be great chef until you’ve done the job for a while in a real kitchen and know the real pressures of the culinary industry.”
