Brightwater’s Culinary Arts program develops our students to be professional culinarians, while inspiring them to think about food in an exploratory way. Each student will be immersed in the culinary world by experiencing every aspect of the food system from crop to cuisine. They will have the opportunity to go beyond the classroom by engaging with chefs, farmers, and other food entrepreneurs working in various positions within the local community. By valuing an inquiry-based learning approach, our instructors will not only help our students to master specific culinary techniques, but will also challenge them to apply those skills in their own innovative way. Brightwater strives to encourage our students to be influencers in society by seeing food as a more than just food, but as a connector to culture, art, the environment and our own community.
