View the Academy

The Academy Cafe is where students have lunch or enjoy a coffee break. The wall displays the different brands of chocolate used in the Academy classes. Our featured brands include Callebaut, Cacao Barry, and Carma.

The Academy Auditorium is a state of the art classroom with seating for 48, two flat screen displays, and projector screen with a built in live action camera. This camera allows the actions of the chef who is demonstrating a technique to be clearly seen by all the students in the auditorium.

The Main Kitchen is the space where students spend the most time learning and creating. Each student station is equipped with marble tops, built-in induction stoves, tools, disposable gloves, and a scale. The chef's table is at one end of the room to allow an clear view from all work stations. It's equipped with an overhead mirror and a built-in refrigeration unit.

Behind the chef's table is the small equipment corner. We have a vacuum connected Robot Coupe mixer. The vacuum allows us to suck the air (containing water vapor, i.e. humidity) out of a mix such as a ganache. Less water vapor in a ganache can extend shelf life. 

We have men and women's locker rooms for students to change and store their personal belongings securely.
