Maples Institute for Culinary Arts

Learn Culinary Arts at the Maples Institute

---

Located at the Walters State Sevier County Campus, the Maples Institute for Culinary Arts includes a 2,100 square-foot kitchen, bake shop, demonstration kitchen and dining rooms where students test their skills at catered events each semester. The Maples Institute was the first culinary institution in Tennessee to receive accreditation with the American Culinary Federation Education Foundation Accrediting Commission.

 

The Maples Institute for Culinary Arts, accredited by the American Culinary Federation, prepares students for successful careers in food preparation, cooking, baking, kitchen or restaurant management and non-commercial food service.

Our goal at the Maples Institute for Culinary Arts is to take our students' enthusiasm for cooking and turn it into an art form and then a life-long career. And nothing better serves as inspiration for our students and instructors in achieving this goal than the life of our namesake, the late Maples.

The Maples Institute for Culinary Arts is one of the few American Culinary Federation accredited post-secondary culinary programs in the state of Tennessee.
