Breakfast is Free for All Students!

We are excited to share that breakfast is free for all students, regardless of eligibility, and we encourage all students to take advantage of this program. Research consistently shows that eating breakfast is essential for students’ focus, energy, and overall success at school.

For the 2024-2025 school year, we’ve received a grant to enhance our breakfast program. This grant allows us to offer more fresh, healthy options while reducing added sugars—aligning with the latest guidelines for the School Breakfast Program.

We are committed to ensuring every student starts their day with a nutritious meal, and we hope you’ll encourage your child to join us for breakfast!

National School Lunch

Provident Charter School is a part of the National School Lunch Program, emphasizing the importance of nutrition. Our menus adhere to the high standards set by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, ensuring students have access to nutritious meals every day. We also offer a variety of a la carte snacks for sale daily, along with juice or water options. We value our students’ input and regularly incorporate their requests into our menu, putting a fresh spin on entrees that kids love and encouraging them to explore new food varieties. 

Applications for Free Or Reduced meals can be filled out at www.schoolcafe.com or www.compass.state.pa.us. Applications for Free or Reduced meals can be submitted at anytime throughout the school year.
