A Complete and Balanced Meal Every Day*
Our partner, Chartwells, a member of the Compass Group, a global leader in collective catering, serves over 2500 meals each day to our students and staff. Their team of chefs and dietitians works closely with the school administration, health services, and the Parents Commission to develop varied and balanced menus.
ALLERGIES: Peanuts and tree nuts are not utilized in products and dishes served by Chartwells in the premises of the IFS. However, some products and dishes may contain traces of peanuts/tree nuts.

Lunchbox
As an alternative to the cafeteria, we offer our students the option to bring a lunchbox from home.
The choice (*) of this option applies for a minimum of one trimester. The request to change the option must be made exclusively on Eduka before the start of the next trimester: before August 31 for a change in September (first trimester), before December 31 for a change in January (second trimester), and before March 31 for a change on April 1 (third trimester).
Here is the procedure to follow on EDUKA:
- Go to the “Student and parent information” section.
- Click on the photo of the child concerned to access the student’s record.
- Choose the “Student” tab.
- Go to the bottom of the screen in the “Meal Option” section.
- Indicate “yes” to the question “Change the meal option for the next trimester?”
