In 1997, L'Academie de Cuisine was named Cooking School of the Year by the International Association of Culinary Professionals. And in 2005, L'Academie was named among the Top 10 Culinary Schools in North America by CookingSchoolsCompared.com.

Our School

L'Academie is divided into two schools: one for students pursuing a professional culinary or pastry arts career and one for recreational students who simply enjoy cooking and want to improve their culinary skills.

The Pros

The professional school consists of two professional training programs: Culinary Arts and Pastry Arts. Both programs provide students with a comprehensive educational background in the theory, skills, and techniques of cooking. Intense, small-size classroom training coupled with an invaluable externship experience at a fine-dining restaurant allow our students to graduate with the knowledge and skills to confidently enter the professional culinary field.

L'Academie de Cuisine is approved by the Maryland Higher Education Commission as an independent post-secondary educational facility offering several professional curricula. The school is nationally accredited by the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education and Training (ACCET). Veterans and others eligible under Title 38 of the United States Code may apply for educational benefits for the Culinary Arts and Pastry Arts programs.
