Food Preparation

At our school, food preparation is a meaningful part of daily life across all ages. From our youngest children to our adolescents, students engage in hands-on work with food that encourages independence, community, and a sense of responsibility.

Primary

In the 3-6 environment, children practice independence and care for their environment through simple tasks like slicing fruit or setting the table.
