A NUTRITION-BASED EDUCATIONAL APPROACH
Healthy food doesn't just nourish our bodies, it sustains our minds. The better our students eat, the better they'll focus in class. Our community views a nutritious and balanced diet as essential to success in the classroom and beyond.
As a result, we offer a food-focused health education programme that explains the benefits of a balanced diet. This interactive, game-based programme introduces our learners to the impact nutrients have on their cognition and emotions. The course was designed and implemented in partnership with education21, the centre of Switzerland's sustainable development education.
We also run a kitchen garden project. Students have the opportunity to grow, harvest, and eat their own fruits and vegetables. They also learn to prepare healthy foods, from homemade jams to vegetable-laden treats. As we teach students to sow, plant, cultivate, and cook, they further understand the progression of food from the ground to the table.
