Our program is designed to reinforce school lessons in a practical environment. By applying Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math to cooking, kids see the real-world value of what they learn in the classroom. This hands-on approach improves retention and makes complex subjects like chemistry and fractions fun and approachable.

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority. Our instructors are trained to handle dietary restrictions and food allergies. When a new location opens, we work closely with local parents to ensure our kitchen remains a safe and inclusive environment for every Junior Chef.

We offer programs for children and teens aged 4 to 18 years old. Our curriculum is tiered by age and skill level, ensuring that whether your child is a preschooler or a high schooler, they are receiving age-appropriate instruction that challenges and inspires them.

Yes! Part of the joy of cooking is tasting the results. At the end of each lesson, our Junior Chefs enjoy the global dishes they have prepared, which encourages them to try new flavors and develop a more adventurous and healthy palate.

We were one of the first schools in the U.S. to combine formal education with culinary training in one setting. Unlike a basic cooking class, we follow a structured curriculum that integrates S.T.E.A.M. subjects, ensuring that every hour spent in the kitchen is an hour spent learning core life and academic skills.

While our Junior Chef classes are designed for kids to build independence, we also offer Adult Donor Classes and family-oriented events. Bringing a location to your area means more opportunities for family bonding through the art of cooking.

Our curriculum is a “culinary passport.” Students learn to prepare dishes from across the globe—including Italian, Asian, Latin American, and African cuisines. This exposure helps them appreciate different cultures and understand the global history of the ingredients they use.
