Choosing the Right Culinary School for You
S For Story/10647146
Matt Grymek, Admissions Manager for the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts (CSCA), discusses how to choose the right culinary program.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - s4story -- Q: Tell us a little bit about yourself
A: I've been working in admissions at CSCA since 2010. I'm also a graduate of the program, so I understand the questions and concerns when choosing a culinary school—and I'm here to help guide students through them!
Q: Why do people attend culinary school?
A: There are countless reasons. Some want to become a professional chef, others food writers, or caterers. Others want to impress their friends. The beauty of culinary education is that it's not a one-size-fits-all journey. What unites them all is a deep passion for food and a commitment to learning.
Q: What factors should students consider?
A: The first thing to consider are your personal goals. If you're serious about becoming a chef or pastry chef, you'll want a program that focuses on technique and professional-level training. If you're looking for personal enrichment or a different kind of culinary career, you'll need a program that offers a more personalized approach. So speaking with the school's Admissions department gives insight into how your goals align with their offerings.

Q: What about student-teacher ratio?
A: Prioritize schools with a lower student-teacher ratio, as it balances individual attention with group learning dynamics. A lower ratio translates to better training and more personalized instruction. It allows instructors to correct mistakes quickly and tailor feedback on aspects like taste, presentation, and creativity. Our class sizes are intentionally small — 12 students— which ensures that each student gets the attention they deserve.
Q: How important are a school's facilities?
A: Ensure the facilities are large and diverse enough to provide a well rounded education. Our facilities feature four professional-grade kitchens, allowing students to learn in an environment that mirrors real-world kitchens. The local culinary scene also provides additional benefits outside the classroom. Here in Cambridge, Massachusetts we have one of the nation's most vibrant and dynamic culinary communities offering all types of cuisines and experiences.

Q: What credentials do graduates receive?
A: At CSCA, students receive either a Professional Chef's Certificate or a Professional Chef's Diploma. These credentials are industry recognized and provide a solid foundation for students to begin their careers.
Q: What role should alumni network play?
A: It's critical in today's landscape. While a program equips students with technical skills, a strong alumni network opens doors across the industry. Our alumni have gone on to win James Beard Awards, publish cookbooks, and run successful restaurants worldwide.
