Food Service Expectations
The school is known for its well-balanced, nutritional, and delicious food service. Three SAGE culinary chefs and their staffs prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner. On weekends, students often are taken to local restaurants for one or more meals to introduce them to the Atlanta cuisine.
At lunch and dinner, there are also salad and sandwich bars. All students are required to eat their respective meals in the dining hall, at which time announcements are also made.
Students may either be assigned to tables or permitted to sit with friends, depending on the overall conduct and manners of students as determined by the administration. Faculty members supervise the lunch period. Students are expected to use good table manners, to take only the amount of food that they can eat, to speak in moderate tones only to those people at their table, to clean up their area at their table, and to return their trays to the appropriate place. If a faculty member corrects or addresses a student, the student is expected to respond immediately and appropriately.
Unless a day student has a written explanation from a physician, he or she may not bring his or her lunch to school since there are a variety of items from which to select. The food service staff will work with students who have certain food allergies or dietary needs. Requests for such services should be made in writing through the President’s office. Meals are included in the fee structure and there are no refunds or credits when a student chooses not to eat a meal.
