As a technical-vocational school that offers skills in culinary arts courses, it aims to provide young women in the urban areas livelihood and employment skills, work attitudes and Christian values that contribute to their economic, social, human and spiritual development. This hereby, enhances their dignity and effectiveness in the performance of their varied roles in family life and nation-building.

These words from St Josemaria best describe the inspiration behind the founding of the Manila Institute for Culinary Arts and Residential Services (MICARS).
From what began as a two-storey house in Malate more commonly known as Maligaya Training Center (named after the street where the house stood) 20 years ago to what is now a tall building, MICARS puts substance and scope to this Feminine Genius, the uncommon selflessness attributed to women. Back then, when the term culinary nutrition and the more formal cooking and baking classes were unheard of, the small institute blazed a trail in forming young women in the essential skills and traits more needed in the home.
