The Culinary Arts Program at Clifford Academy
The goal of our Culinary Arts program is to develop transferable workplace skills as well as specific practical skills. Students are provided with the skills to enter the workforce or continue their education as life-long learners. Students are trained in cooking, baking, kitchen sustainability, knife handling safety, food preservation and recipe development. They are taught specifically how to utilize ingredients in the fridge for unique dinners or how to turn leftover into something more. Nothing goes to waste.
Projects assigned include:
- Menu development
- Job scheduling
- Catering
- Function management
- Inventory
- Teamwork building
- Cash management
The Culinary Arts program combines hands-on learning with classroom-based skills training. The Culinary Arts program develops a professional foundation in the work habits, techniques, and attitude necessary to obtain and retain entry-level position in the food service industry. Within the culinary program we sell DIY decorating cookie kits, hot sauce, Clifford signature cookies, herb blends, loose-leaf teas and breads. Clifford Academy has a weekly on-site student run café where students learn about barista skills, customer service, money handling and taking orders.
