The Philippine School of Culinary Arts (PSCA) was established in February 2003 in response to the increasing demand for culinary professionals here and abroad. As most of the culinary schools are in Metro Manila, the founders decided to locate in Cebu to cater largely to students from the Visayas and Northern Mindanao. Recently though many residents of Metro Manila and other parts of Luzon who prefer a more laidback lifestyle have come to discover the advantages of enrolling at PSCA.
