DINING

APIS’ chef serves up delicious dishes for diverse preferences and palates. Weekday breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals always include meat and vegetarian options, and the weekend brunch serves a bounty of breakfast and lunch offerings to fuel a fun-filled weekend. Every month, APIS hosts a cultural night where food from a specific country in the world is featured alongside cultural lessons.

EVENING STUDY HALL

Learning at APIS does not stop when the school day ends. Our Signature Evening Study Hall Program offers additional academic support. From 7 to 8:30 p.m., students meet with teachers who specialize in content areas, like math, English, or East Asian languages, to receive individualized support. Art studio hours and music sessions are also offered.
