Imagine this experience
in your community.
Let’s explore a pilot that fits your students and your setting.
YOU BRING THE STUDENTS. WE’LL BRING THE RECIPE.
Big possibilities.
A simple way to start.
A flexible program with practical support, so your team can focus on the students.
Make it yours.
Choose courses that fit your students, goals, and schedule. Start with a focused selection or explore the library.
Get your team ready.
Use Rainbow Chefs instructors or train your own educators. Access teaching materials through the online portal.
Let the learning begin.
Launch with curriculum, recipes, ingredients, and utensils. Use assessments and feedback to understand the experience.
A classroom is enough. Recipes are designed for hands-on learning without a kitchen.
A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING
Good questions.
Simple answers.
Let’s make the first step a little easier.
Do we need a kitchen?
No. Recipes are developed for learning without kitchen facilities, so students can prepare food in a classroom or other suitable program space.
Which ages can take part?
Courses support transitional kindergarten through grade 12, with content tailored to different grade groups.
Can our own staff teach the program?
Yes. Rainbow Chefs can train your educators and provide online teaching resources, or supply instructors for your program.
How much does a program cost?
Pricing depends on your program’s needs. Share your setting, student group, and preferred delivery model to discuss an appropriate scope.
