ICE is dedicated to inspiring our students to reach their full potential through an education that emphasizes technique and professionalism. We will accomplish this in a passionate, disciplined environment that fosters excellence, critical thinking and creativity in students, faculty and staff. ICE is committed to ongoing assessment and institutional improvement for the benefit of our students, staff, faculty and administration. As one of the largest and most diverse culinary schools in the world, ICE has helped many thousands of students to find their “culinary voice.” Each year, over 30,000 people come to ICE for culinary career training, recreational cooking lessons or special events. For some, their dream is to open a restaurant, for others, it is to learn advanced cake decoration or how to make traditional handmade pasta. Still others come to us to further their professional development with masterclasses in restaurant management, advanced pastry studies or modernist culinary methods.
