The International Culinary School at The Art Institute of
Vancouver
At The Art Institute of Vancouver, you'll learn what it takes to
become a creative professional. Here, you'll learn how to create
a portfolio that shows what you can do. That's called having an
edge. Standing out. And offering employers the kind of talent
they're looking for.
What separates us from other institutions? Professionalism.
Industry informs us that the key indicators of life-long success
are attitude, team skills and a strong work ethic. We believe
these assets are just as important to success as exceptional
technical and artistic skills. Our instructors work hard to
impress upon students the importance of good communication
skills, a goal-oriented mindset and strong team skills. We
encourage students to be adaptable, have a positive attitude and
be accountable for their actions.
About Us
You enter college with your talents and dreams. At The Art
Institute of Vancouver, we see our role as providing those
educational services that help you develop your potential.
At The Art Institute of Vancouver, education is not a process
where we hand you skills and knowledge. You must take
responsibility and get involved. Here, you learn from artists and
professionals in a hands-on environment. You have the opportunity
to make both professional contacts and lifelong friends. On your
part it means engaging fully, eyes and mind wide open.
There's a vibrant energy here, one that fuels a desire to do your
best. You are supported by a close and caring community bound by
mutual respect for individuality and creativity. You are also
part of the Vancouver area creative scene and can contribute to
the texture that makes it one of the world's most desirable
regions. An education from The Art Institute of Vancouver means
something.
Faculty
Many of our faculty are experienced professionals with
impressive achievements in their fields of expertise. They
continue to be involved in contemporary creative trends and
techniques and share that knowledge with their students. Our
faculty know first-hand what employers need and they provide
practical, hands-on education that meets those needs.
Career Services
Getting an education is a major goal, but it's one which
usually leads to the real goal - landing that all-important
first job that launches your career. To help make that leap,
our students turn to the personalized, comprehensive services
offered by the school's Career Services Department.
