Globeducate has joined forces with the prestigious École Ducasse, a network of schools founded in 1999 by multi-starred chef Alain Ducasse, dedicated to the transmission of outstanding French expertise based on excellence in culinary and pastry arts.  

The partnership aims at introducing Globeducate students to the world of culinary arts and pastry arts, by experiencing the profession, and possibly giving rise to aspirations for the future. The partners are approaching their collaboration with the goal of creating opportunities between the different institutions of their respective networks.

 “ISN is so excited about our partnership with the Alain Ducasse Culinary School in Paris and all of the opportunities this will create for our community including career exploration, workshops, summer experiences and many more. The Alain Ducasse Culinary School provides students with a practical, disciplined and creative training by top industry professionals. There is a real shortage of skilled workers in this sector and employment upon graduation is guaranteed at 100%. Students at Alain Ducasse enjoy a solid curriculum that includes many different pathways including very specific pastry chef training to broader managerial and entrepreneurial skills training and luxury brand management. Here at ISN we are bringing our learning out of the classroom in a delicious way.”

École Ducasse's ambition is to inspire this new generation of Globeducate students from a very young age and to help them discover high-end gastronomy, as well as develop their taste and senses while making them aware of the importance of a healthy and planet-friendly diet, in line with École Ducasse's culinary philosophy.

The interest École Ducasse has in planet-friendly, sustainable diets, resonates with Globeducate´s agenda to tackle the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and its partnerships with Eco-Schools and WWF. The partnership gives another tangible way for young people in Globeducate schools to use their skills and understanding to shape the world.

Globeducate´s key principles of educational excellence, developing skills and competencies, building character, and nurturing global perspectives, are the foundation for preparing students for success within the global community. Students develop skills and abilities beyond the purely academic and this partnership underlines this commitment, giving the potential for students to gain new experiences with this leading gastronomic school.

Students at the end of their secondary education in our schools, who are aiming for careers in the field of high-end gastronomy, will be able to take advantage of exclusive access to all the vocational programs offered within the campuses of the École Ducasse network:

• The Paris Campus in Meudon, which offers Bachelor’s degrees in culinary and pastry arts as well as career changer programs.
• The École Nationale Supérieure de la Pâtisserie (ENSP), in Yssingeaux, specialised in training students in pastry arts.

More widely, students' families as well as the schools' teams will have access to special conditions with regards to these vocational programs, as well as the culinary and pastry courses intended for amateurs and offered at the École Ducasse Paris Studio. Younger students will have the opportunity to roll up their sleeves and get creative in the kitchen as part of the Globeducate France camps.

ISN Nice families planning a holiday in Paris, can take advantage of our partnership and enrol their child on one of the week-long cookery workshops available during the school holidays.

 “Our partnership with the Globeducate network of excellence is part of our desire to promote gastronomic professions throughout the world. Our wish is for Globeducate's students to discover our excellence training in culinary and pastry arts in order to make them aware of a healthy and planet-protecting diet and to encourage them to follow the wonderful career choices available in gastronomy"

Elise Masurel, Managing Director, École Ducasse.

“The partnership with École Ducasse will give Globeducate students from around the world the opportunity to discover the career opportunities that culinary arts degrees offer. Starting of course with cooking, nutrition and menu planning, but also gaining a broader understanding of food production companies, hospitality, and other services related to the culinary and pastry world. I think this exposure is important for our students so that they can choose a future that matches their passions and interests”
