Tyler
As a student at the Culinary Institute Inc, my experience has been nothing short of transformative. From the moment I stepped into the bustling kitchens, I knew I was in for an adventure.
**Hands-On Learning:**
The institute's emphasis on practical, hands-on training is incredible. Every day, I find myself immersed in the kitchen, working alongside experienced chefs who push me to refine my skills. It's one thing to read about culinary techniques, but it's another to actually execute them under the watchful eye of a seasoned professional.
**Networking Opportunities:**
The camaraderie among students is fantastic. We're all here because we share a passion for food, and that creates a strong bond. Whether it's collaborating on a new dish or discussing future business plans, the connections I've made here are invaluable.
**Comprehensive Curriculum:**
The curriculum is diverse and challenging. From mastering classic French cuisine to experimenting with modern fusion dishes, I've gained a broad spectrum of culinary knowledge. This has been particularly inspiring for my pizza shop, as I've been able to incorporate new techniques and flavors into my menu.
**Industry Connections:**
The institute's ties with the culinary industry have opened doors I never thought possible. Internships and job placements are a significant part of the program, and these opportunities have given me a taste of the professional world, preparing me for the challenges ahead.
**Personal Growth:**
Beyond the technical skills, the institute has helped me grow personally. I've learned about kitchen management, customer service, and even marketing strategies—essential skills for running a successful business. The confidence I've gained here is something I'll carry with me long after graduation.
Overall, my time at the Culinary Institute Inc has been an enriching journey, equipping me with the tools and knowledge to excel in the culinary world. Whether you're looking to refine your craft or expand your business, it's a fantastic place to start.
Anna
Such a supportive and positive environment. You know how they say you regret the things you don’t do? Well I regret not signing up a long time ago! They provide free mental health support, as well as help finding jobs after graduation. I really love the teachers and the campus. Security is always on premises and very hard to get into without your keycard so I always feel very safe!
Alexis
I absolutely love it. I feel safe going to class. And the people surrounding you are so positive and happy. I love my professor and students that I work with. It's never a boring day in class and we are always on task but having fun why at it. I love culinary school
Colin
Absolutely wonderful school. There's no shortage of love from both the student body, alumni, and the teachers. Not to mention the fact that the school was voted #1 culinary school in America. I never thought I'd one day visit the school, let alone attend, but the staff made it easily possible to move to Houston from out of state and welcome me as one of their own.
iliana
I love this school. It is very close to my job and home. The teachers and chefs and understanding and nice. I will recommend friends and family that want to be part of this industry. Overall I am very satisfied with the experience I am currently having. Thank you for the time and effort you give to all students.
patricia
Culinary institute Lenotre is a great school!
Emily
It a great school. I am more then happy attending this School. Some of the best chefs teach at this school, and they truly care, they want to make you better in the kitchen. The school provide it's students with plenty of opportunities too pass, to learn, and to prepare yourself for a future job. They provide oppurtities to work in the school four restaurant, help out chef on the weekend for when they teach the public, and the school have life long job placement. The owners of the school are always on campus and are their to listen to the students. The atmosphere at the school is supportive and kind. I am more then happy with this school.
Paola
So far I have enjoyed my school life. I look forward to everyday and enjoy going to school to learn. I would definitely recommend this school to those who hope to pursue a career in the Culinary Arts field. The school has appropriate sized classrooms and you are able to have access to your teachers.
Trevor
It's not in the same class as Le Cordon Bleu or any of the super well known Culinary schools, but other than that, it's a pretty good school. The flexible hours are a godsend for people who work during the day. Professors are very knowledgeable and love to teach what they know.
Ryan
As a current student I’m amazed at the level of professionalism there is to be found while even just talking to the administrators. The professors are always available. In fact I emailed one of professors on a holiday and she responded to me within about 15-20 minutes. I was already terrified by college thinking it was going to be awful and yet my school has paved the way through me to help me better realize that this is not always the case. I’m always excited about going to school and look forward to every class!
izaiah
what can I say about my school? other than that I love the culinary institute, so much food and joy, i'm actually about to graduate, and it has been a great and happy from from start to finish. I am proud that i'm going to be saying that culinary institute Lenore is my alma mater.
katie
culinary institute lenotre in houston is a good school to go to. They help you get a job after graduating.
Rebecca
Lenotre is a very good school. I recommend this College to everyone due to the passion and interest that every instructor and employee has. Their scholarship program is amazing and have many caring individuals that want you to succeed. The only downpart is that there isnt much spirit or cummunity. I do see the school trying to improve in that area which is great.
Bryan
