Dining

Where Community Comes Together

At St. Mark's, meals are an essential part of campus life. Every day, students, faculty, and staff gather in our historic Dining Hall to share conversations, build friendships, and strengthen the sense of community that defines the St. Mark's experience.

Recognized as one of the School's most iconic spaces, the Dining Hall is where traditions meet everyday life. Whether enjoying breakfast before class, catching up with friends over lunch, or sitting down together for a family-style dinner, meals are a meaningful part of each day.

Supporting Student Wellness

Good nutrition plays an important role in student success.

Rebecca's Culinary Group works closely with St. Mark's to provide balanced meals that support learning, wellness, and active student lifestyles. Menus emphasize fresh ingredients, whole foods, and a variety of nutritious options while giving students the flexibility to choose meals that fit their preferences and dietary needs.

Clear menu labeling and nutritional information help students make informed choices throughout the day.

Food Allergies & Dietary Accommodations

The health and safety of our students is a top priority.

Dining staff receive ongoing training in food allergy awareness and safe food handling practices, and managers are available to answer questions and work directly with students and families.

We encourage families to communicate dietary needs before arriving on campus so we can provide the best possible dining experience for every student.

Fueling Student-Athletes

Student-athletes have access to meals designed to support performance, recovery, and overall wellness.

From balanced pre-game meals to convenient travel "Fuel Packs," dining staff work closely with coaches and the Athletics Department to provide nutritious options that help students compete at their best.

Menus are developed with lean proteins, whole grains, and fresh produce while accommodating team schedules and travel needs.

Sustainability in Action

St. Mark's and Rebecca's Culinary Group are committed to making environmentally responsible choices throughout our dining program.

Current initiatives include:

Supporting local and regional suppliers whenever possible
Responsibly sourcing seafood and other ingredients

During these family-style meals, students and faculty gather around shared tables to enjoy a meal together, creating intentional opportunities for conversation and connection.
