Our partnership with Le Cordon Bleu is only the latest development in the Academy's evolution. The school opened as a culinary arts college in 1977, when San Franciscan Danielle Carlisle bought an old downtown brick building, stocked it with four kitchens, and brought in a handful of chefs and 20 students. Her mission was to give future chefs, pastry chefs, personal chefs and caterers - as well as others interested in the hospitality industry - a true European-style culinary education worthy of the finest cooking schools, by combining hands-on classes with real-world experience in restaurants. Thanks to this partnership, we can offer Le Cordon Bleu training in California. Fueled by an increasing demand for culinary professionals who could hit the ground running, the Academy quickly grew. To accommodate the rapid enrollment growth, Carlisle moved the Academy in 1985 to its present location, the historic California Hall at 625 Polk St. By then, the Academy had grown to enroll more than 400 students, and ten years later became a publicly traded company. In 2000, we were acquired by one of the largest providers of private, post-secondary education in North America. California Culinary Academy celebrates the achievements of its past and looks forward to furthering its tradition of teaching excellence.
But you can't study and train all the time. So when you're not learning your new profession, you can find yourself exploring the Bay Area's amazing natural beauty. Hike. Mountain Bike. Sail. Surf. Even a day spent walking along the water and checking out the views from the Golden Gate Bridge is a day well spent. For the less nature-oriented, San Francisco offers museums, boutiques, art fairs, live music, and even a new baseball stadium. The options are nearly endless.
Other distinctive classroom features include a Basic Skills Laboratory for the development of fundamental culinary skills, management training, lecture classrooms designed for wireless network access, a computer classroom with individual student workstations for learning industry-current software, and the Academy library which houses an extensive stock of current culinary, hospitality, and restaurant periodicals, along with texts and videos to supplement classroom and workshop instruction. Additional educational facilities are conveniently located at 700 and 735 Polk Street. If you’re comparing hospitality management training, thinking about hospitality jobs in your future, or considering becoming a pastry chef, chef, personal chef or a caterer, then consider attending California Culinary Academy.
