Think very carefully about paying 60,000 dollars for two years of tuition for a job that might pay 19.00/hr after five years. Ive worked with undocumented immigrants who've never gone to pastry school and are quite good at what the job is, and that is all an employer is looking for anyway. Waste of money.

I'm a C.I.A. grad,' Class of 1973, and the first graduating class at Hyde Park. The best 2 years of my life to that point were at the C.I.A. I was fortunate to be taught and guided by some great Chef Instructors like Pastry Chef's Walter Schreyer, Albert Kumin, Noble Masi, and Ed Bradley. Then there was the late Chef Jim Heywood for Garde Manger, Chef Bruno Ellmer International cooking, Fritz Sonenschmidt for Garde Manger, and several others. It was a fun time to be at the C.I.A. and in the Hudson Valley.

[@trulyswish5816]

I want to become a pastry chef but I think if I go to these school I would be swallowing my spit if I see the food every sec so it’s holding me back why ☹️

[@amandapunzal8828]

Why did this ended up in my recommendations? I like it

[@Tornadosplash44]

Can you highlight second year of Culinary Arts and Baking and Pastry Arts?

[@Michelle53775]

As a junior in high school, college hunting period is coming near and once I laid my eyes on this school, it has become the ideal college that I yearn to get accepted in. However, I am not very sure about it for the tuition is pretty hefty and I feel as though I won't catch up with the others. I am very passionate about the culinary world and I often bake at home but its nowhere in the advanced categories and I feel as though students who go there already have experience in a bakery or a restaurant. Also, does anyone know the requirements to apply for this school? Requirements as in SAT scores, recommendations and etc. It would be greatly appreciated if I got some feedback on this since no one around me have the same goal in mind :/ THANKS

[@raphaelngussa8983]
