What Is a Culinary School Open House?


Imagine stepping into a state of the art kitchen, surrounded by the aromas of fresh ingredients and the buzz of creative energy from aspiring chefs like yourself. A culinary school open house is more than just a campus tour, it's an immersive experience designed to help you validate your career decision before making a commitment.

At La Flamme Bleue Center for Culinary Arts, our open house events provide prospective students and their families with a first hand look at what it's like to train as a professional chef in one of Northern Luzon's most sophisticated culinary facility.
