Community Lunch

A Fresh Vision for School Lunch

In 2019, Seven Hills launched a new integrated lunch program to nourish a brighter future for our students and community. In partnership with Epicurean Group, the Community Lunch Program aims to connect our community, maintain equity, promote healthy choices, and align with our green values. Epicurean's artisan approach and sustainable practices support local, organic farms and ranches and the sustainable seafood model of the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Daily lunch and snacks are included for each student as part of tuition.

The dining program at Seven Hills features:

  • Nutritious and sustainable meals and snacks prepared daily in our kitchen by a team of chefs, reducing the stress of planning and packing lunches at home
  • A wide variety of items that allow for student choice while meeting nutritional needs
  • A dining experience that integrates with our curriculum, with future opportunities for students to grow their own food, building the foundation for a lifetime of healthy eating and sustainable living
  • A renovated commercial-grade Tenvold kitchen
  • Expanded indoor and outdoor space to eat together and connect
  • An honest lunch program that aligns with our whole child philosophy
