Triumph Higher Education

The Triumph Higher Education Group and Michel Escoffier, President of the Auguste Escoffier Foundation and Museum of Villeneuve Loubet, France recently shared their visions for the next generation of culinary education by hosting a series of events in three major cities in the US, Austin, Boulder, and Chicago.  In April 2010, the Auguste Escoffier Foundation and Museum in France, along with Michel Escoffier, it’s president and great grandson of Auguste Escoffier, joined forces with Triumph Higher Eduction Group to create an exciting affiliation through which Triumph will launch the Auguste Escoffier Schools of Culinary Arts in the United States and internationally.  Triumph, a Chicago-based management group dedicated to developing global post-secondary education institutions, acquired the Culinary Academy of Austin in June 2010 and the Culinary School of the Rockies in Boulder in July 2010.

Building on the success of these schools and pending necessary regulatory approvals, Triumph plans to transition them to the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts.

Offering programs for the culinary and pastry arts professional as well as the home cook and culinary enthusiast, the Auguste Escoffier Schools of Culinary Arts will truly be the next generation of culinary education.  Professional programs for culinary and baking will offer a demanding, accelerated program focused exclusively on classical culinary training and mastery of the skills and techniques sought by employers.  Programs will combine online interactive delivery with hands-on practice, world-class instructors, farm to table sustainable cuisine, and affordable tuition.
