Dining

A nutritious breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in the campus Dining Hall seven days a week. Residential students eat breakfast and dinner with their dorm mates and staff.

During the school day, students eat lunch with their classmates and teachers who model meal time conversation and table manners with the class. In the Dining Hall, students are responsible for clearing their place at the table and utilizing the recycling center for scraps, non-recyclable items.

Low-fat milk is served with the meal and ice water is available at all tables. Nutritious, low calorie snack choices, including fruit, are offered to students at a time scheduled by the classroom teacher. Water is available throughout the school day, meals and at recess.

Special dietary restrictions can be accommodated but require a health provider’s statement that clearly outlines the restriction, and should be discussed during the Admissions process.

Red-tailed Boa

The red-tailed boa, also known as the boa constrictor, is native to the trees of South America — but this one hails from Long Island, New York! He was born and raised in captivity for three years until his owner decided to donate him to the Green Chimneys Wildlife program. In the boa\’s specialized enclosure, students can observe his movements and behaviors and even assist with feeding him rats.
