Dining & Food Service

Everyone looks forward to lunch at Colorado Academy.

Students and faculty gather to eat and engage in face-to-face conversations in a technology-free zone.

CA’s Dining Hall serves 1,290 lunches daily—providing healthy, nutritious, and, as a recent graduate said, “flat-out delicious” meals. We serve students ages 4-18 and watch over their nutritional needs, address their allergy concerns, and get them to try new foods, flavors, and cuisines. We offer tasty options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergen-free diets. 

Nervous parents? Picky eaters? No problem! Your student will love it; they just don’t know it yet. We’ll help with that.
