Unless otherwise noted, all Tilton School meals are served in Knowles Dining Hall. The dining room is open weekdays and Saturdays for breakfast, lunch and dinner and on Sundays for a mid-morning brunch and dinner. All boarding students are required to sign-in with the Officer of the Day at dinner each evening to help account for the safety of each student.
Each Monday, a family-style formal dinner is held. All boarding students are required to attend the meal in formal dress. Students are assigned to rotating faculty tables throughout the year, providing them an opportunity to meet new students and faculty members. The position of waiter will be assigned on a rotating basis. Waiters will serve the meal and join the table for dinner. Following Monday’s formal dinner, the duty of cleaning the Dining Hall is assigned to a group of tables on a rotating basis. Throughout the year, various additional formal meals will be served to coincide with awards nights and holidays.
A true sense of community abounds in the Dining Hall as it contributes to the quality of life across the campus, fostering relationships over shared meals. The food service program is designed to provide high quality, nutritional meals that appeal to the varying tastes of the whole school population. The school’s commitment to nutritious and appealing meal options is reflected in its partnership with the State of New Hampshire, Department of Education, Bureau of Nutrition Program and Services where it receives federal funds and participates in the National School Lunch Program.
