About Northwest Culinary School

Our school opened its doors as International Air Academy in 1979. The founder, Arch Miller, was working as a dedicated and experienced professional in the airline industries when he chose to utilize his talents in a new way. Miller’s career began by attending a travel school where he gained enough experience to earn his first job as a ramp agent and later moved on to reservations.

​Miller worked his way up to staff vice president at Hughes Airwest, now part of Northwest Airlines, before opening his own training school  in Vancouver, Washington.

In 2004, Mr. Miller expanded on the school’s success with the hotel, restaurant & event management and culinary arts training program 
Northwest Culinary Institute. 

With the increased need for renewable energy, and in turn, the need for qualified technicians, the Academy has expanded again with 
Northwest Renewable Energy Institute.

​In 2013 
Northwest Railroad Institute was born to help fill the upcoming positions that will be available with the retiring generation of conductors.
Our graduates work at different types of restaurants all over the country.
You will find our graduates working at some of the best and most innovative restaurants in the northwest.
