At Culinard, the Culinary Institute of Virginia College, food is our passion! This philosophy permeates everything we do. We take no shortcuts. Not in preparing meals or educating tomorrow's next round of culinary artists. Our renowned chef's are not only passionate about great cuisine, but they embrace the idea of enthusiastically passing along their skill, knowledge and zeal to Culinard students.

This intense devotion impacts everything we do. Whether it is in our teaching kitchens, our dining establishments, or when we provide services for special events, we always strive to provide a unique culinary experience.

The students who come to Culinard are committed to and passionate about a career in the culinary or pastry arts. They share the love of cooking and it shows in their ultimate creations.
