Food Program
The food program at Rophine Field Group of Schools is more than just the way we nourish students and employees. The food program is also an integral part of the school’s educational program — a further expression of our progressive philosophy that learning extends beyond our classrooms to encompass our physical space, our relationships among one another, and all activities during the school day.
“Feed the kid. Sustain the future.” – Food Program
By offering the food program menus that are prepared entirely in-house, sourced from local providers wherever possible, the food program aims to provide students with healthier meals while building a deep understanding of the importance of a well-balanced diet and the rich cultural traditions of varied cuisines.
The food program goes beyond the kitchen. Our chefs are an integral part of our community and have a presence in our classrooms. Students have various opportunities to learn from our chefs — from the basics of cooking to nutrition to the complexities of our food system.
Expert chefs lend their talents to create diverse and delicious meals each day. Often drawing from their own cultural backgrounds or travels, ROPHINE chefs blend delicious flavors to create a unique culinary experience for students.
Balanced nutrition guides the creation of each meal. Daily lunch consists of a number of foods designed to keep students full and satisfied, and to provide the energy they need to take on the day. Students can look forward to an entree, a fresh soup, sandwich and full salad bar.
Meals are designed with dietary restrictions in mind. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options are made available daily. All stocks are made in-house for freshness and quality control. As a “nut free zone,” the kitchen does not use any oils, nut butters or any ingredients made with or containing nuts.
