More Than a School Lunch: A Look Inside the St. Andrews Green Valley Canteen

“What does school lunch really look like in an international school setting?” For parents, food is more than just fuel, it’s a foundation. It means knowing your child is nourished, cared for, and introduced to a world of flavours in a way that feels safe, inclusive, and enriching.

At St. Andrews Green Valley, we understand that deeply. We believe every meal should support a child’s growth, curiosity, and well-being. Join us as we take you inside our canteen to show how we turn lunch into something more meaningful.

  • Holistic nutrition for growth: Every school lunch meal at St. Andrew Green Valley supports your child’s physical, cognitive, and emotional development with balanced nutrients.
  • Diverse, inclusive meals: Our school lunch menu offers Thai and Western favourites, vegetarian options, and allergy-safe choices.
  • Cultural food experiences: Monthly Discovery Days turn lunch into a celebration of world cultures. This makes mealtimes meaningful and educational.
  • Hygiene parents can trust: Powered by Siam Caterers and backed by HACCP certification, we ensure every meal is safe, clean, and freshly prepared.

Nutrition Goals that Support Every Aspect of Child Development

Food is the foundation of energy, growth, and well-being. With the right nutrition, every meal becomes a stepping stone to a stronger, healthier future. At St. Andrews Green Valley, we ensure that every child receives the nutrients they need to thrive with every thoughtfully prepared school lunch.

Concentration and Learning Focus

Our school lunch meals are fuel to sustain students’ energy throughout the school day. Each meal is designed to deliver approximately 30–35% of a child’s daily energy needs, including 15-20g of protein, and 1-2 servings of vegetables help children stay focused, alert, and ready to learn.

Brain and Cognitive Development

We include 10–15g of healthy fats and brain-friendly nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, choline, iron, and antioxidants that support memory, attention, and healthy brain function. This makes every international school lunch a moment of brain support.

Physical Growth

Each of our school lunch meals supports growing bodies with essential nutrients like protein, calcium, and vitamin D. These nutrients help students build strong bones, develop muscles, and maintain healthy physical development.

Emotional and Mental Well-being

Good food supports a good mood. Our school lunch menu features comforting, nourishing meals that help regulate emotions, reduce stress, and promote mental resilience in young learners

Thoughtfully designed dining experiences 

Beyond nutrition, we aim to create school lunch experiences that are meaningful, joyful, and inclusive. Each element of our international school lunch menu is designed to reflect our values of care, diversity, and education.

Balanced meal with a quality selection


We ensure that every school lunch includes a well-rounded variety of options from appetisers to main courses. Students can enjoy fresh salads, flavourful soups, and light starters, followed by nutritious main dishes. A pasta station is also available daily for added variety.

Examples from our lunch menu include pumpkin & bacon soup, sautéed beef with ginger, baked potatoes with vegetables, chicken noodle soup, and more. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared to deliver both taste and nutrition in every bite.

Favours for every taster 


We are dedicated to making every child feel at home in our diverse community, no matter where they come from, while helping them settle comfortably into a Thai setting. That’s why we offer a wide selection of both Western and Thai dishes as part of our daily Thailand school lunch.

Our students get to enjoy their own flavour adventure where fun meets healthy. Whether your child prefers roast chicken or fried rice, our international school lunch offering makes it easy to find something they love.

We also recognise the importance of dietary choice and respect. From vegan and vegetarian options to allergy-sensitive meals, our menu is carefully designed to meet the diverse dietary needs of our community.

Theme Day: Diverse Cultural Celebration  in Dishes

Our Discovery Days turn school lunch into a celebration of world cultures. Each month, we introduce meals inspired by different countries from all around the world. These special food events bring students closer to global traditions through the food they eat.

We also incorporate seasonal world-wide cultural celebrations, like Songkran, Halloween, and Christmas, through festive menus that engage the senses and expand cultural awareness.
