Small Classes
The student to teacher ratio at New England Culinary Institute is 10:1. This allows each student to receive individual attention from the Chef instructor and allows the student freedom to ask questions and receive direct feedback. Small class sizes are crucial to the school's educational theory. Not only does a small class insure each student close attention, but it also teaches the student to work within a team, which is an important skill when working in a production kitchen.

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or classes:
“He bends to the order of the seasons, the weather, the soils and crops, as the sails of a ship bend to the wind. He represents continuous hard labor, year in, year out, and small gains. He is a slow person, timed to Nature, and not to city watches. He takes the pace of seasons, plants and chemistry. Nature never hurries: atom by atom, little by little, she achieves her work.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The most powerful lessons about ethics and morality do not come from school discussions or classes in character building. They come from family life where people treat one another with respect, consideration, and love.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
