APE has funded a few water fountains that are located throughout the school, so children can replenish their water bottles anytime. Tap water is potable in Milan.
The school does not allow for parents to send food, therefore all students are served by the canteen. For students in secondary school (6ème to Terminale) they have the option to leave the school and eat outside everyday or on specific days of the week. Older students (usually 2nde to Terminale) seem to prefer eating outside.
The canteen is managed by a third party, contracted by the school. Food is to be paid every trimester, at the same time as tuition. In the first week of school, you will receive a form where you can choose whether you want to subscribe to the canteen for your child, and the frequency. The APE canteen committee is working closely with the school to ensure quality.
Children with allergies / intolerance can eat at the canteen. Parents should contact the school as early as possible to put in place a PAI (Projet d'Accueil Individualisé, an individualized support project).
Details regarding the meals served (quality, frequency and cost) should be checked directly with the school. You can find information regarding menus on the school website.
