The Food and Finance High School centers all academic teaching around culinary arts.
Many Manhattan high school students attend private schools or magnet schools--alternative public schools that specialize in a specific subject area or educational philosophy. High school students with an interest in culinary arts choose from several public or private schools that offer courses in this area and even build an entire curriculum around culinary arts.

Urban Academy
Urban Academy is a non-traditional high school that allows students to choose courses they are interested in from a course catalog at the start of each semester. This catalog includes courses in culinary arts. Urban Academy treats high school students like college students and encourages them to follow their interests rather than requiring all students to follow the same curriculum. Each year, students work with an adviser to assess their progress towards graduation and ensure they study subjects in a number of areas. Some students enroll in college courses at nearby schools while still attending Urban Academy.
