Together, We’re Making Healthy Happen Today

At FLIK Independent School Dining, we believe that informed choices fuel thriving minds and bodies. Our nutrition education program empowers students with lifelong skills—teaching them to navigate food labels, understand balanced eating, and make mindful decisions both in and out of the dining hall. Through chef-led demos, interactive lessons, and age-appropriate materials, we spark curiosity about what goes on the plate. By integrating wellness into the everyday, FLIK helps students build a positive relationship with food—one bite, one lesson, one habit at a time.

Building Healthy Habits That Support a Strong Mind and Body

At FLIK, our holistic approach to nutrition is what makes us truly unique. We start with plentiful choices that enable students to learn, grow, and thrive. Unlike typical over-processed, sugar-filled school lunches, our healthy menus feature farm-to-table ingredients and scratch-made dishes that deliver all the nutrients growing bodies need. We find the sweet spot between familiar favorites and culinary exploration.

We know what kids like, and we believe in balance! For the noodle-lover, we serve our famous veggie-filled “Revved-Up” marinara. Craving a salty crunch? Fall in love with our house-made “FLIK chips!” Longing for an allergen-friendly, campus-safe ‘PB&J’? Grab a sun-butter sandwich from the Nibbles Bar. With fresh fruit within reach, your students are more likely to snack well and crash less.

Customizable Food Programs that Deliver More than Just a Happy Tummy

At FLIK, you’ll find no lack of innovation, collaboration, and true passion in what we do. Through our consistent initiatives, we continue to enhance the quality of life for children and adults all across the school community, providing better, more researched care when it comes to food choices.

Through wholesome meals, nutrition education, and environmentally conscious programming, we’re changing the game for campus life, equipping students with the tools they’ll need to live a happier, healthy life.

Community, Culture, Creativity

That’s where nutrition education truly begins

Very early on, we realized that our company holds the power to make a difference that stretches beyond the dining hall. We’re lucky enough to partner with a variety of exemplary businesses and associations, including the Green Restaurant Association, as well as other socially-minded programs and initiatives. Through these partnerships, we seek to reduce waste, practice sustainability, and help support and improve the local communities that we’re a part of.

As a sustainable, earth-conscious company, we are committed to bringing our students locally sourced ingredients in an effort to support small and mid-sized American farms.

Questions? Get in Touch with Us!

We’ve now made it easy for students, parents, and guardians to communicate with our hospitality team, in order to provide them with the answers they need. Now, through our dining portal and app, we can better communicate a variety of new information, including weekly menus, food holidays, and other on-campus promotions direct with students, families, and staff.
