Girls enjoy a regular menu rotation of delectable food. Meals and dining are about balance, nutrition, taste and diversity of foods and cuisines.

Birthdays are celebrated over dinner and each boarder is able to choose their menu for the night of her birthday.

We want to impart the important sense of joy that is spread liberally when it comes to sharing a meal.
