At Summit Preparatory school, our goal is to serve the highest quality foods with special attention to nutritional content and special diet restrictions so our students can learn to make healthy lifestyle choices with regard to what they eat. Our state of the art kitchen was designed specifically for student participation and instruction. Culinary arts classes and life skill training is available to students once they reach an appropriate level of responsibility, accomplishment and maturity. Instruction is one student per class period, per semester to make the most of individual talents special interests. Proper table etiquette, service, and manners will be addressed, as well and cleanliness, food safety, and illness prevention.
Breakfast is self-served in the dorms before students gather for morning meeting at the lounge of the main hall. Lunch is served cafeteria style along with an extensive fresh salad bar. Students eat with the students and staff on their teams. Dinner is sometimes served family style. The food is passed around the teams table, like in a large family. Senior House parents monitor food intake quality and quantity, table manners, social skills, and manage dessert privileges accordingly.
Dish duties fall to one team each week. They are responsible for scraping, washing, and putting away dishes and cookware as well as cleaning and sanitizing all working and eating surfaces. Senior house parents monitor student participation and the overall teamwork of the students as they do their assigned duties for each clean. This experience allows for a variety of learning experiences associated with leadership, responsibility, and cooperation.
Like everything else at Summit Preparatory School, the expectations placed upon the students with regard to meals are designed not only to meet their immediate needs, but also allow them to develop other skills necessary for leading productive and fulfilling lives.
