Meal Programs

At City Language Immersion Charter, students have access to healthy foods throughout the school day.

Research shows that two components, good nutrition and physical activity before, during, and after the school day, are strongly correlated with positive student outcomes. Student participation in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) School Breakfast Program is associated with higher grades and standardized test scores, lower absenteeism, and better performance on cognitive tasks. In City Charter Schools, students have access to healthy foods throughout the school day—both through reimbursable school meals and other foods available throughout the school campus—in accordance with Federal and state nutrition standards; Our students receive quality nutrition education that helps them develop lifelong healthy eating behaviors.
