Profile: California School of Culinary Arts

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.

Our Pasadena Campus, located in the historic Playhouse District, is only 20 minutes from downtown Los Angeles and is the center of the School. Excited, determined students flow through our hallways into our teaching/lecture kitchen labs and classrooms. Our labs feature industry-current commercial equipment and are designed for maximum efficiency, usability and comfort. They offer a great proving ground to replicate the kind of fast-paced environment our graduates can experience on the job. This building also houses our Learning Resource Center, an important facility for both students and culinary professionals throughout Southern California, providing current information available to industry professionals.
