Curriculum Licensing

Schools and other educational settings can license Food is Elementary

We work closely with Pre–K-12 public and private schools, after school programs, homeschooling communities, summer camps, community centers, daycare centers, and health care organizations including medical schools to help them implement the award-winning Food is Elementary curriculum.

Launching a food-based curriculum requires careful planning, training, and ongoing support along with a fundamental understanding of how students learn. Based on our experience with hundreds of schools and communities over the years, we have determined that the most effective way to ensure successful implementation of Food is Elementary is by working closely with each school for the first two years of implementation so we can provide relevant support and ensure “learning by doing” is adhered to.

One license is required for each school or site, regardless of the number of teachers implementing the curriculum.
