Partnership with ESC Region 13 Brings Hands-On Nutrition & Culinary Education to Eight Austin-Area Schools
BURLINGAME, Calif. – May 7, 2026 – PRLog — Rainbow Chefs Academy, a health, wellness, and nutrition education company, today announced its expansion into Texas.
“With deep roots in the state, Texas is an important part of my vision for Rainbow Chefs Academy,” says Svetlana Elgart, Founder and CEO of Rainbow Chefs Academy. “Now that vision is becoming a reality, which will greatly benefit the K-12 students of Texas.”
Working closely with Education Service Center Region 13 — one of twenty service centers serving the state’s educational needs — Rainbow Chefs Academy will begin implementing its hands-on, cross-curricular program at eight schools in the Austin area. Additional Texas schools are expected to adopt Rainbow Chefs Academy’s curriculum.
“It’s about empowering students to understand their health, build confidence in the kitchen, and connect learning across STEM, literacy, and real-world life skills,” says Larry Johnson, Director, Strategic & School Partnerships at Rainbow Chefs Academy. “We’re grateful for the leadership of ESC 13 and the Texas educators driving this forward. Together, we’re advancing a bold, shared goal: empowering every K-12 student by delivering impactful, nutrition education as part of the regular school day, after school, or even attendance recovery programs.
