About the Program: 

 The Leuzinger High School Culinary Careers Academy provides students with relevant and integrated learning opportunities focused on food, nutrition, fitness, and the hospitality industry.

CCA curriculum is inquiry and project-based; learning occurs primarily in labs, kitchens, and collaborative groups. All CCA courses and activities are dedicated to developing students' academics, career skills and health and wellness for life beyond high school.

The first cohort of students will access a food, nutrition, and wellness- based curriculum in an academic classroom and in 2014-2015, all CCA students will experience state-of-the-art cooking facilities, garden, and cafe as their new learning environments.
