About CSCA

Where Passion and Skill become Art.

CSCA has fast become a respected culinary and hospitality school. Our expertise, along with the ever-growing influence of our graduates, is helping to set the bar for the future and beyond. Founded in 1994, the CSCA faculty includes highly respected, experienced chefs who have the ability to turn out confident and successful graduates. We are part of a small percentage of culinary schools in America to partner with internationally renowned Le Cordon Bleu - the leading authority on culinary techniques, training, and development for over a century. CSCA offers the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu diplôme training through three different programs:  Associates of Occupational Studies Degree in Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts, Le Cordon Bleu Pâtisserie & Baking Diplôme Program, and Associate of Occupational Studies Degree in Le Cordon Bleu Hospitality & Restaurant Management and a Diploma in Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts.

LA really cooks.

Our school is located in one of the most famous and dynamic areas of the nation - Los Angeles. It's a multi-cultural, creative landscape that's produced nearly as many culinary trends as hit movies. In local farmers markets you might rub elbows with celebrity chefs shopping for ingredients for their signature dishes or looking for inspiration for their next TV food show segment. The surrounding agricultural valleys produce some of the finest ingredients for our future chefs and hospitality managers: from the established wine industry in the Santa Ynez Valley, to the organic farming movement in Ventura County, to the booming wine community in Temecula just south of LA. Few other cities offer such a wealth of culinary and hospitality career opportunities, with a robust resort industry, high-profile restaurants, and catering to members of the entertainment industry.
