                                   LETTER
                                   Since ICE’s founding in 1975, the size, scope and influence
                                   of the culinary world in American has grown. So has ICE.
                                   Today, we are widely recognized as one of America's
                                   leading destinations for anyone who wants to explore their
                                   passion for all facets of the culinary arts and hospitality,
                                   from cooking, baking and wine studies to restaurant and
                                   hospitality management.
                                         As a school and an institution, we are vibrant, focused and driven by ideals. ICE students are diverse,
                                   have unique talents and individual quests. Our role at ICE is to help our students develop and find their
                                   culinary voice. As New York City’s leading culinary school, ICE’s influence will expand further still in the first
                                   half of 2018, as we officially open the doors of our new branch campus in Los Angeles.
                                         The foundations of ICE are our career programs in Culinary Arts, Pastry & Baking Arts, Restaurant &
                                   Culinary Management and Hospitality Management. Whether our students’ goals are to become four-star
                                   chefs, restaurateurs, food journalists, artisan bread bakers or hotel general managers, our programs provide a
                                   comprehensive foundation. ICE’s programs are sophisticated, intensive, student-centric and can be completed
                                   in less than one year.
                                         It’s no surprise that over the years, ICE and its alumni and faculty have won top industry awards, reviews
                                   and accolades, including the 2015 IACP “Culinary School Award of Excellence." More recently, in fall 2016,
                                   both The Daily Meal and Edinformatics named ICE as the #1 culinary school in America! ICE’s externs and
                                   graduates have been recruited by New York City’s and the country’s most celebrated chefs. The same will be
                                   true for students and graduates of our Los Angeles campus. The network of ICE alumni, employer and friends
                                   throughout the nation is truly impressive. On the specific measure of student retention and placement, we have
                                   remarkable success: 87% of students who start our career programs go on to graduate, with 82% employed
                                   within the industry after graduation.
                                         Moreover, we are one of the only schools in the nation that has designed an in-depth educational program
                                   for aspiring culinary entrepreneurs — be they future food startup founders or restaurant operations directors.
                                   Our innovative Restaurant & Culinary Management program is taught by an experienced group of former
                                   restaurant owners and consultants who use the real world as their classroom. We have also structured our                                        What’s Inside

                                   and culinary training.                                                                                                                          A CULINARY EDUCATION FOR THE REAL WORLD                       2
