This will include a variety of items such as fresh fruit baskets, a featured salad, or home-made soup of the day, a hot entrée of the day with condiment sides, a daily dessert (usually fruit from Monday to Thursday, Fridays is a treat), and a selection of fresh-made, daily infused water, ice water, or milk.

I heard that our food is all pre-packages and frozen. Is this true?

No. Executive Chef Jeffery Hunter and Sous Chef Eric create the menu at the beginning of every school year and customize it for the students at St. George’s School.

In order to maintain our standards, we order the highest quality, fresh ingredients, and are always open to suggestions for future menus. Our ingredients are local and sustainable whenever possible.

With the exception of a few items, the food at the St. George’s School Kitchen is made from scratch on a daily basis — from our homemade soups to salads and entrees. We generally to choose fresh meats, as opposed to frozen, and we prefer free-range and local food-options as much as we possibly can. Vegetables are brought in fresh, cleaned, peeled, and chopped — ready for cooking immediately upon their arrival.

Is there a meal plan geared towards athletes or other specialized activities (band, art, etc)?

Is there a meal plan geared towards athletes or other specialized activities (band, art, etc)? Yes, there is always a daily protein during lunches. These will be lean cuts of meat (such as chicken breast, beef, turkey, fish, etc) that will be lightly seasoned. We are also very excited this year to continue offering our Educational Dining Program — the Powering Performance Meal Program. Click here to learn more.

The Powering Performance Program helps the boys to easily identify our menu items. It is not only for athletes, but also for other students involved in specialized activities. This program includes four primary pillars to guide each boy’s different health and wellness goals, actively acknowledging that every boy is unique, and may require different dietary needs.

This program helps our students to easily identify foods that they should be eating, and that will help them with one of four goals. The four pillars of the Powering Performance program are:

To Strengthen – Great for athletes to grow and fortify.
To Focus – Great for those in Academic Clubs or Programs, such as Band or Math Club, to sharpen minds and ensure they have the mental endurance to succeed.
To Sustain – To help sustain your energy level throughout the day’s demands — no more afternoon naps or cravings!
To Recover- Great after a hard workout, competition, or mentally challenging activity. mental and Physical recovery is essential to sustained success.
