Students have an hour for lunch each day. They have options on how to spend this time.
Students may choose to spend their lunch period outside, weather depending. This is the most popular option chosen by our students.

They can also just grab a chair and chat with friends soaking in the sunshine.
Students can choose to stay inside. We have classrooms available for students in middle school and others open for high schoolers.
