At Raffles American School Bangkok, we believe that great learning begins with a healthy body and a happy mind — and the foundation of that is nutritious, wholesome food.
Every meal at Raffles is more than just lunch — it’s an expression of our care and commitment to nurturing healthy eating habits from a young age.
But eating well doesn’t only mean eating vegetables or “healthy food.” Some days, our students enjoy their favorite dishes like fried chicken, pizza, or ice cream, because we believe that food should not only be good for the body but also bring joy, helping children grow in both physical and emotional balance.
Freshly Prepared, Clean, and Carefully Crafted Meals
Every meal at Raffles American School Bangkok is freshly prepared daily in our on-campus kitchen by a team of experienced chefs and nutritionists.
We select only high-quality ingredients from trusted sources, with regular safety and hygiene inspections.
We strictly follow these principles:
- No MSG (Monosodium Glutamate)
- No artificial preservatives or colorings
- No reused cooking oil
- Fresh vegetables, fruits, and hormone-free meats
Our goal is for every meal to be more than just delicious — it must also be safe, clean, and parent-approved.
Diverse Menus for Every Age and Culture
As an international school, Raffles welcomes students from diverse nationalities and cultural backgrounds.
Our school cafeteria therefore offers a variety of global cuisines, including Thai, Western, and healthy international dishes.
Menus are thoughtfully designed to provide a balanced mix of carbohydrates, protein, fats, and vitamins from fresh produce, ensuring every student receives complete nutrition appropriate for their age and development.
- Younger children enjoy milder flavors and easy-to-digest meals.
- Older students receive energy-boosting meals to support learning and concentration.
- Special dietary options are available for students with food allergies or nutritional restrictions.
Expert Nutrition Planning
At Raffles American School Bangkok, we value food quality and nutrition just as much as academic excellence — because we know that healthy children learn best.
Our in-house nutritionist works closely with the kitchen team to ensure that every dish is not only tasty but also nutritionally balanced and safe.
Weekly menus are carefully designed based on:
- The right ratio of carbohydrates, protein, fat, and fiber
- Adequate energy for daily learning, play, and activities
- Ingredient selection free from MSG, artificial colors, and preservatives
- A wide variety of dishes to ensure complete and enjoyable nutrition
Our nutritionist also supervises food preparation and safety daily, from ingredient selection to cooking and serving, ensuring every meal meets hygiene and freshness standards.
For students with dietary restrictions — such as dairy, gluten, or nut allergies — Raffles provides personalized meal plans, created in collaboration with the nutritionist and homeroom teachers, ensuring every child receives the nutrients they need safely.
The Raffles Kitchen — Clean, Safe, and Parent-Approved
Our kitchen and cafeteria are designed and maintained to meet international hygiene standards.
All food areas undergo regular sanitation checks, and our kitchen team wears gloves, masks, and hairnets during preparation.
Dining tables and utensils are cleaned using child-safe products after every meal.
For younger students, teachers and staff assist during mealtimes to ensure that each child eats safely, comfortably, and receives adequate portions — all in a warm, caring environment.
Building Healthy Eating Habits from the Very First Day
At Raffles, food is not just nourishment — it’s a lesson in real life.
We teach our students to respect food, to understand where it comes from, and to eat mindfully.
Healthy eating habits developed in early childhood stay with them for life — helping them grow stronger, focus better in class, and start each day with positive energy.
