Dining Services
Tabor Academy’s Dining Service is managed by Flik Independent School’s food service company. The management team at Tabor has over 68 years of experience working together.
On weekdays we offer three meals a day, including snack choices in between meal periods. During the weekends, there is a modified schedule of two meals a day.
Breakfast Offerings: We offer omelets’ to order, make your own Belgium waffle station, a choice of any cooked eggs, daily breakfast protein, home fries, a fresh cut fruit bar, and much more.
Lunch and Dinner: Daily choice includes a stir fry station, brick oven pizzas, charbroiler station, pasta bar station, main entrée line, two salad bars, deli bar station with three self-serve panini grills, soft-serve ice cream machine, daily grain special, soup station and a dedicated Gluten-sensitive station. Visit flikisdining.com to review daily menus.
During each meal period, a manager is present to answer any allergy questions or deal with any other concerns. In addition, our hourly associates are coached to interact with the students, and we encourage them to get to know the students on a personal level.
At the beginning of the school year, our health office sends us a detailed list of all students with meal restrictions and then facilitates a meeting so we can meet each student and learn of their particular food requirements.
Each week there is at least one “fun meal” offered; cotton candy night, ice cream float night, and more. We also place a big emphasis on holiday “special type” meals. We take pride in serving the Tabor community!
Health & Counseling Services
Tabor Academy prides itself on taking care of the whole student. To that end, the Health Center and Health Services are available 24/7 to help all students with any issue that might arise, be it medical or emotional. We recognize and appreciate that adolescence is a time of emotional and physical growth and change.
We Care 24/7!
Tabor Academy's Health Center is staffed round the clock with professionally licensed nurses, a nurse practitioner, and an on-call physician. The nursing staff is readily available for consultation in the dorms, on the playing fields, or whenever necessary in the Health Center. Students also have access to a full-time school counselor and two athletic trainers. The local hospital is just six miles from campus should students require a visit to the emergency room.Students are welcome to come to the Health Center anytime to be seen for illness or injury, to receive daily medication, or to schedule an appointment with one of the healthcare providers. The Health Center staff will arrange appointments and transportation to medical specialists or arrange for further testing when the need arises. The Health Center is a warm and comfortable place for students when they are not feeling well. There are rooms available for resting/sleeping, quiet studying, or watching television while enjoying a cup of soup or tea.
We believe that health plays a vital role in how successfully one can achieve academic, social, and personal goals. Good health promotes favorable results, which is why we are here 24/7 to support our students.
Wellness
Adolescence has always been tough, but today's teens are experiencing higher levels of anxiety than any generation before them. Tabor's faculty, Dean's Office and Health Services Team is responding to this through regular dialogue with our students during advisory and All-School Meeting, through 24/7 access to our health and counseling services, and through special programming, often with outside speakers on topics of health and wellness.
Our faculty believe it is critically important to open dialogue with students about the impact of their decisions around the use of drugs and alcohol, their choice to engage in sexual activity, and the way they consume social media and use their electronic devices. Though these topics can be uncomfortable, our students need adult guidance in these matters. We are bolstered by studies that indicate trusted adults positively influence student behavior. We hope through our effort, our students know they can come to us with any concern and that we will be there for them. Regular communication with parents about these topics and events are part of this critical dialogue and effort to keep our students as safe and happy as possible.
Finally, our commitment to diversity and inclusion, and our absolute intolerance for bullying and hazing are clearly spelled out for all students as integral to our goal to have Tabor be a safe place for all our students to be themselves.
