Chartwells Independent Schools
Across Canada we serve more students than anyone else! Chartwells is the education sector of Compass Group Canada, the nation’s largest provider of high-quality food services. Chartwells operates on more than 500 education institutions in Canada, delivering expertise to independent schools looking to evolve their foodservice offering. Chartwells Independent Schools provides fun and healthy dining options that help boost concentration and knowledge retention. Our food and nutrition specialists are committed to building strong bodies and sharp minds while establishing the foundation for a long and healthy life.
Crafted with Care
Our promise is to create an experience that originates with chef-driven, scratch-cooked, and responsibly sourced food. Built on the foundation of our promise, we develop customized dining experiences, far beyond traditional school dining programs: a focus on health and wellness, programs for special diets, and functional food education. With a ‘centre of the plate’ focus, we provide balanced meals that are wholesome, healthy, and nutritious without an over-reliance on processed food or carb-based entrees.
Living the Vision
Our people are our greatest asset.
We build our student-first philosophy with each of our associates bringing genuine care and commitment to serving your students. As an industry leader in driving guest experiences, we empower our associates to celebrate successes as a team.
Sustainability
We are commited to transforming your food services into a showcase for sustainable education dining. Under the Food with Purpose pillar of our Thinking Ahead Giving Back vision, we source and design purposeful menus, and celebrate food that makes us whole.
We focus on food that nourishes the body, supports the community, and respects the planet.
