Dining Services
SAGE, founded in 1990, is the leading food service provider for independent schools and colleges throughout North America. SAGE focuses on safety, quality service, community, nutrition, education, sustainability, and delicious food made from scratch using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. On-site chefs will get to know our school community and tailor the menu according to our preferences.
Each day, SAGE offers fresh-made menu items, including a salad and deli bar with house-made dressings and hummus, fresh ingredients sourced from local vendors, and in-house roasted beef, turkey, and chicken; a healthy main dish with a variety of starches and fresh vegetables as sides; creative, food truck-style fare; authentic Latin and Asian dishes; expanded vegetarian options; and even display cooking and themed do-it-yourself stations.

SAGE’s comprehensive allergen filter, which can be accessed through the online menu, makes planning meals easy. Parents are always welcome to visit the kitchen and ask about inventories and preparation methods.
SAGE also extends education into the dining hall by guiding community members towards healthy food options. We can make informed decisions about what to eat using SAGE’s Spotlight Program®, a color-coded system that shows the nutritional value of each item offered. In addition, we will learn about historical, cultural, and culinary topics related to food each month through their Educational Seasonings program. Through informational guides, creative displays, taste testing, and hands-on preparation,
