In our quest to provide the optimal environment for our student-athletes at Edge, we continue to adapt our services to meet the demands associated with a rigorous academic and athletic schedule. Perhaps the most critical, yet often overlooked aspect of balancing those demands is nutrition. Nutrition plays a role in academic performance, athletic performance, and in every aspect of development. It’s important not only to provide our kids with the right fuel, but to help them form good nutritional habits associated with athletic success, along with overall health and wellness.

Edge School ensures that all students are taught healthy nutrition principles and have access to foods that promote high-performance in all areas. Our nutritional philosophy at Edge is to provide nutrient-dense, fiber-rich whole foods with complete sources of low-glycemic carbohydrates, high quality proteins, and healthy fats. We aim to avoid refined sugars, processed/artificial ingredients, trans fats, and hydrogenated oils.

Edge School has teamed up with The Main Dish to deliver outstanding food services, prepared in our fully-equipped kitchen and served in our spacious dining hall. The service is open much of the day with the menu offering breakfast, snacks and lunch.

 

Pre-Ordered Meals

Pre-ordered meals are available on a monthly basis. We now offer an online ordering system for pre-orders. The online ordering system is easy to use and more efficient for tracking orders and managing the cafeteria in general. At this time, payment is not part of the online ordering process.

Menu

The Main Dish provides students, parents and staff with healthy meal choices ranging in size and with dozens of options including hot meals, take away meals, salads, specialized protein/performance bars, protein shakes, and a full breakfast menu – all within the above philosophy to ensure the most optimal environment for young developing athletes. Our menu is slowly evolving to a multi-item menu. This is usually a daily feature, daily sandwich special, and we now offer a build-your-own pasta section. In the coming we have plans to release a bigger menu with more exciting, healthy options.
