School Meals

Serunión who won the National Prize of Gastronomy in 2013, is the leading contract catering company in Spain, and responsible for producing a balanced daily menu in our kitchens.

Mealtime is a time for coexistence among students and also a space for nutritional learning that allows them to discover the importance of a healthy, varied and balanced diet that monthly incorporates international dishes so they can learn about the culinary culture of different countries. We work with them on behavior and table manners, an essential element for the acquisition of good habits.

We also prepare special menus to cater for illness, intolerances, allergies or religious reasons.

Eating in a restaurant

To ensure proper assimilation of basic table manners and how to be at the table there is a “special table” in the dining room, prepared in the same way as if it were in a restaurant, with cutlery and utensils placed in the same way as in a formal restaurant and service in the same way.

Students are chosen in small groups of four to six on a weekly basis to sit at this “special table,” and are taught, differently from the rest, how to use a napkin, to serve themselves directly from a platter, enjoying a special restaurant dessert to finish the experience. This is just another way to encourage and instill good table manners and healthy eating.
