Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Creighton Prep move to a professional lunch program?

Creighton Prep is committed to the Jesuit philosophy of cura personalis, or “care for the whole person," and to a developing health and wellness program whose goal is to form a healthy student ready for college.

The need for a professional lunch program with plenty of fresh, healthy foods was identified through strategic planning as a key priority.

How did Prep choose FLIK as its lunch program provider?

FLIK is a leading provider of professional dining services to private and independent schools across the United States including Rockhurst High School, the Jesuit high school for young men in Kansas City where the program has been quite successful. Marquette University High School in Milwaukee also uses this program.

In addition, FLIK's emphases on fresh, healthy foods, caring for those with food allergies and educating students about nutrition in a service environment that reduces impact on the planet fit well with the criteria for choosing a lunch program provider for Prep.

Are families required to participate in the lunch program?

Yes. This is a milestone change in the number and quality of fresh, healthy food options being offered to students, and a program of this nature needs subsidization by our Prep families in order to be successful.

My son has special dietary needs. How can those be addressed?

A FLIK representative can work with you to make sure your son's dietary needs are taken into account.

What does it cost?

The annual student lunch fee is $500. Subsidized financial assistance is available for those whose need is demonstrated through Prep’s financial aid process.

How will I be billed?

The cost will appear as a fee on your tuition bill and be paid according to the payment plan you choose for the school year. Financial assistance is available for those whose need is demonstrated through Prep’s financial aid process.

Where can I see a menu?

Does the new service include a focus on sustainability?

Yes. To respond to Pope Francis' call to live our vocation to protect "our common home," we have incorporated the use of washable plates, utensils and cups and plan to pulp food waste for compost use.

How can I learn more about FLIK?

What are the other features of Prep's health and wellness program?

Recent additions include substance abuse testing for all students. The testing and the new lunch program complement the athletics, PED and concussion testing, and Fitness for Life course offerings that, together, help students take a more informed and active role in their decisions about health and wellness for life.
