PRESIDENT’S
LETTER
Since ICE’s founding in 1975, the size, scope and influence
of the culinary world in America 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. ICE is NYC's leading culinary school, and following our March 2018 opening in Los Angeles,
ICE's stature as a national culinary education institution is now firmly established.
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
