Welcome to New England Culinary Institute!

New England Culinary Institute (NECI) has been a leader in culinary arts education since 1980. Our experienced chefs and faculty will provide you with all the skills and training you need to turn your passion into a rewarding career.

NECI's hands-on model immerses you in the culinary arts through our "learn-by-doing" educational approach. At NECI, you will not only understand the essentials, you will practice them until they become second nature in our school-owned restaurants, bakeries and other facilities. You will participate in cooking classes that feature a smaller student/teacher ratio than most cooking schools and culinary arts institutes.

NECI graduates are in high demand, so contact us today.
