At Colegio Internacional de Granada, the dining hall is much more than just a place to eat. It is an educational space where our students learn values such as coexistence, autonomy, and respect every day, while enjoying healthy and balanced nutrition.
During lunchtime, students not only feed themselves physically, but they also learn to share, organize themselves, and care for others. This time of day becomes an extension of the classroom, where good habits and values education continue naturally.
Learning Good Habits from a Young Age
From the earliest stages, we foster students’ autonomy and responsibility. In our school in Granada, children learn to serve their own food, maintain a respectful attitude at the table, and take care of the space they share with their classmates. These small daily actions boost their self-esteem and prepare them to be independent in their daily lives.
The dining hall team, composed of attentive and approachable professionals, accompanies the students in this process, guiding them with care and leading them toward responsible behavior. Every gesture matters: learning to wait their turn, clearing their utensils, or expressing gratitude for the food received are part of a lesson that goes far beyond the plate.
Healthy and Balanced Nutrition
Good nutrition is essential for students’ academic performance and general well-being. In our bilingual school in Granada, we carefully manage the menus, which are prepared under nutritional criteria that guarantee a varied, complete diet adapted to different ages and needs.
Each menu includes fresh, quality ingredients, promoting the consumption of fruits, vegetables, and legumes. Furthermore, children are encouraged to try new flavors and textures, expanding their palate and helping them develop healthy habits from childhood. Educating about nutrition is also educating about health and responsibility.
The Dining Hall as a Space for Coexistence
The school dining hall is a place where relationships among classmates are strengthened. In our institution in Granada, lunchtime is also a moment to talk, share experiences, and enjoy the environment in a calm and positive atmosphere.
Respect for others, cooperation, and empathy are experienced daily in this space, where students learn to live together and value the work of those who prepare and serve the food. This social learning reinforces group cohesion and helps create a school climate based on trust and kindness.
Eating and Educating, All in One
In our bilingual institution in Granada, we believe that education does not end when the bell rings. Every space in the center, including the dining hall, is an opportunity to teach and learn. That is why we take care of every detail: from the atmosphere and organization to the individualized attention students receive.
Because when food is shared with respect and joy, it becomes a formative experience. In the dining hall of the Colegio Internacional de Granada, we nourish body and mind, promoting a comprehensive education that unites physical, emotional, and social well-being.
