Inspire young chefs at your school
Bring the joy of cooking to your students with hands-on workshops in kitchen safety, teamwork, and cooking and baking from scratch — led by professional chefs.
Partnering with schools across Dubai & Sharjah
What we offer
From weekly enrichment to one-day events — each format is designed around your school's needs and timetable.
Weekly or term-based sessions alongside your timetable. Students build real cooking skills over the term through progressive recipes and techniques.
A self-contained cooking experience at your school or at our institute. Suited to enrichment days, STEAM days and school events, with rotations for larger groups.
Culinary sessions delivered in Arabic, French or English, designed to support curriculum goals across language, culture and life skills.
Long-term partnerships for schools embedding culinary education across the year, at Silver level or as a full Level 2 Platinum partnership with deeper integration and co-branding.
The curriculum
Every session is hands-on from the first minute, covering a curriculum that goes well beyond following a recipe.
Why Petits Chefs
We are not a catering company running activities on the side. Culinary education for schools is our specialism, and we deliver it with care and consistency.
Every session is led by a professional chef, not a teaching assistant or activity leader. Your students get technique, expertise and genuine passion at the counter with them.
We work closely with your team from day one. Facility requirements, session logistics, ingredient agreements and scheduling are confirmed in advance, so nothing is left to chance.
Agreed ingredients and materials come as part of the programme. Kitchen access, tables and water points are confirmed with your team before the first session.
Programmes support learning across STEAM, PSHE and life skills — meaningful enrichment rather than an extracurricular add-on.
Dubai Municipality compliant, KHDA registered and fully insured. Documentation is ready for your leadership team without anyone having to chase it.
We work around your timetable, not the other way around — weekly sessions, a one-off enrichment day, or a term-long programme.
Getting started
From first contact to first session — a straightforward process designed to make onboarding easy.

We propose a tailored programme. Format, frequency, age groups, dietary requirements and facility logistics are confirmed together.
