About the Charleston Academy of Domestic Pursuits

Founded by Suzanne Pollak in 2012, the Charleston Academy teaches students how to make their world a friendlier place one cocktail at a time, one dinner at a time, one connection at a time.

2021 Online Courses

This Winter (January 12—February 18), CHS Academy will offer three different six-week courses all about simplifying and improving life at home. Pricing is $30 to $40 per class.

SOUPS & STOCKS: Long-simmered soups are a combo of reality and romance. Make them from scratch and freeze for later meals. You will learn grocery store adaptations and shortcuts to make it easy on yourself.

WE CAN DREAM, CAN’T WE?: These classes are for the future!  We aren’t entertaining at home now, but we will do it again soon. Escape to another world with us…

ONE-POT WONDERS: Learn classic dishes from different geographic regions. What ties them all together is the length of time and satisfaction you get from making them over the weekend to share with your pod.
