At Independence Classical Academy, we are committed to our students’ health and wellness. Research shows that healthy students are better able to pay attention in class and better positioned to succeed in school and in life.
The goals of our food program are to:
-
Support the academic success and achievement of our students
-
Provide nutritious meals which allow students to maintain focus
-
Provide healthy and fresh food offerings along with education on making healthy choices
-
Expose our students to new culinary experiences while still offering “kid favorites”

Student Meals
All Independence Classical Academy students are offered healthy, nutritious meals including breakfast and lunch through the National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs.
Encourage your student to start each day with a healthy school breakfast! Eating breakfast at school is a great way for students to socialize with friends and to start the day ready to learn. And for families on the go, it makes the morning rush so much easier!
Breakfast costs $2.50
Lunch costs $4.00
Our cafeteria accepts cash, check, or money can be added in advance via our online student account portal. Click the Meal Time button below for our online pay portal to create an account and deposit funds into your student account.
At the start of each month, lunch menus will be available online and posted in the cafeteria. Click on Nutrislice below for this month’s menu!
Your student may qualify for a Free or Reduced priced meal. Reduced price is $.30 for breakfast and $.40 for lunch. Click above to access our online application, or here (insert link to FRL documents) to download and print the application.
Please note- All paper meals applications & forms must be turned into the front office or emailed to Mrs. Predix.
At Independence Classical Academy, we recognize the importance of ensuring every student has access to nutritious meals.

This policy helps us sustain our commitment to providing quality education in a supportive environment. For details on our unpaid meal policy, please click
