Chef School - Pastry Chef Arts Certificate Program at Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts Degree Program in San Francisco
We are located in one of greatest culinary and hospitality capitals of the world- San Francisco. The city boasts one of the largest concentrations of hotels and restaurants in the country, giving us a great "living classroom" and a large pool of resources when handpicking our instructors. You'll also have the unique opportunity to work with these local establishments during your externship at our chef school.
But you can't study and train all the time. So when you're not learning your new profession, you can find yourself exploring the Bay Area's amazing natural beauty. Hike. Mountain Bike. Sail. Surf. Even a day spent walking along the water and checking out the views from the Golden Gate Bridge is a day well spent. For the less nature-oriented, San Francisco offers museums, boutiques, art fairs, live music, and even a new baseball stadium. Entertainment options are nearly endless!
