The Manville School to Participate in the National School Lunch Program

Students K-11 will be offered healthy meals at no cost every school day for the 2025-26 school year.

The Manville School at The Baker Center for Children and Families will be participating in the National School Lunch Program.

As part of this program, Manville School will offer healthy meals every school day at NO COST due to the Nationwide Waiver to Allow the Seamless Summer Option through School Year 2025-2026. Students will be able to participate in these programs without having to pay a fee or submit a household application.

The Manville School is a therapeutic day school for students in grades K-11 who experience emotional, neurological and/or learning difficulties that have impacted their ability to succeed in previous school settings. Each year, over 100 children achieve exceptional educational and personal outcomes through Manville's evidence-based instructional, clinical, and behavioral practices.
