The CIA staff are amazing..
I love that the students here talk about food, make food, eat food, think about food, and watch food TV. Its a common passion. Also, the campus is absolutely immaculate, and the staff is amazing. Their credibility, industry experience, and knowledge are exceptional. I also love how well the CIA suits me.

I wanted to be a great chef, so I came to the CIA
I took my first cooking class at the CIA when I was seven years old. I remember saying that I would attend the CIA one day. Since then, I have devoted myself to making my dream a reality. If you want to be a great lawyer you go to Harvard Law School. I wanted to be a great chef, so I came to the CIA

The CIA is simply the best
The CIA is simply the best. I wanted nothing less than the best. The level of professionalism, as well as the expertise and knowledge my instructors have of the industry, is outstanding. Everyone here is working toward the same goal and is passionate about the same things. I looked into other schools, but none had the reputation, prestige, and excellence as the CIA.

CIA is incomparable
I chose the CIA because of its reputation and culinary program and the curriculum is incomparable to other culinary schools. Plus, most of the successful chefs in the industry have trained at this school.
