Food and Nutrition
All our food is cooked in our school kitchens
It doesn’t wander for 10km before arriving on children’s plates!
We thus guarantee that all food is homemade, cooked with local and fresh produce and with our grandmothers’ recipes, adapted to current nutrition knowledge. Homemade and traditional food’s taste that has been experimented with for over 20 years.
Our great investment in food and nutrition guarantees the array of menus that our community’s diversity requires.
We know parents don’t always have time to prepare their children’s meals at night, as some would like, and must resort to pre-cooked meals. That’s why we guarantee that children’s food during the day is cooked that same day at the school with local and fresh produce.
We have three different menus to respond to the school’s parents and children’s different interests and habits. Each school year, you can select the menu your child is most interested in. Our Fresh Menu is included in the monthly fee. We thus have:
Three balanced and complete menus based on the principles of healthy nutrition – a complete, balanced, and varied diet, following the recommendations of the National Program for the Promotion of Healthy Eating, of the Directorate-General of Health.
Parents who prefer to do so may also bring food from home.
