Culinard was a culinary school owned by Education Corporation of America. It was opened in 2000 as part of the Birmingham, Alabama branch of Virginia College. The second campus was opened with the establishment of the Jacksonville, Florida branch of Virginia College in 2009. Additional Culinard campuses operated at Virginia College campuses in Mobile, Alabama; Richmond, Virginia; Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Savannah, Georgia. This school shut down in December 2018 following Educational Corporation of America's shut down.
Culinard offered two 36-week educational programs: a Culinary Arts Diploma[1] and a Pastry Arts Diploma.[1] An online Culinary Arts associate degree[1] is also available if certain criteria are met e.g. having already had formal training in culinary skills at a post-secondary level.
