GSOTA Jr. Chef Program: 201 - 203

A series of sessions that will take your little chef through the 2025/2026 season and give them a chance to grow their love of food and cooking. Follow our numbered cooking sessions to get a vast array of skills in the kitchen! The 200 level sessions are the natural progression from the 100 level sessions and will see students learning more difficult kitchen skills and working on more difficult recipes.

Overview

Fall Session
201: Taste the World

Take a culinary trip across the globe! Kids explore international dishes while learning cooking basics and trying new flavours from six different countries.

Winter Session
202: Kitchen Science Lab

Cooking + Science = Awesome. Kids experiment with food reactions and fun edible projects that teach them how ingredients work together.

Spring Session
203: Appetizer Artistry (A Gala Prep Course)

Kids will learn to create elegant, bite-sized appetizers perfect for parties! Over 6 weeks, they'll explore fun techniques like piping, plating, and flavor pairing δΈ€ ending with a festive "Year-End Gala" to show off their delicious creations.

This is the place to be for young chefs who are eager to learn all about the kitchen and gain the skills needed to cook and bake for their family at home!

For those who continue with us until the end of the GSOTA school year in mid-May, delicious creations will be served at our GSOTA Year-End Gala, where parents and friends will be able to see and taste our students' wonderful foods in a Gala setting with all our other arts students!

We are offering Fall, Winter and Spring sessions (each 6 weeks in length) for our 200 level classes. You can sign up for all 3 sessions and build on your skill set, or you can sign up for any of the sessions individually.

The cost for one 6 week session is: $300.00

GSOTA Year-End Gala 2026

On Thursday May 14th at 6:00pm, we invite all our Spring Session students to gather with friends and family to display and present their works of art! There will be no admission fee, but a survey will be sent home close to the Gala date to gather an idea of how many people would like to attend. This event will start at 6:00pm sharp and will continue until 7:00pm-8:00pm. More details for this event will be sent to all students participating in the Spring Session.
