OUR HISTORY:
Established in the Fall of 1996, Culinary Academy of Long Island opened its doors to prospective students interested in the pursuit of professional training in the culinary arts field. Culinary Academy is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology and licensed by the New York State Department of Education, and offers a variety of culinary programs. In 2005 the Culinary Academy acquired a new division, the New York Food & Hotel Management School. This new affiliate changed it's name to Culinary Academy of New York to be further associated with the Long Island chapter. The Academy began with its Professional Cooking with Internship program. The program is offered weekdays in both morning and afternoon sessions. Once the program work is completed, students gain practical experience through their internship. Culinary Academy started an additional program. The Commercial Cooking with Internship program is offered in the evenings and is designed to meet the needs of "non-traditional" students. This program is ideal for students who may work during the day or prefer to go to school at night. The Restaurant Management with Internship program has recently been added to our program offerings. Students learn all aspects of restaurant management, including kitchen operations and maintenance of the front of the house. Students are prepared to become restaurant managers, kitchen managers, food and beverage managers, front of the house managers, and food pantry agents.
