The mission of Scintilla Charter Academy School Nutrition is to provide quality, nutritious and balanced meals every day to increase student satisfaction and participation in Scintilla Charter Academy Nutrition Program

Scintilla Charter Academy participates in the national school breakfast and lunch programs. These programs are regulated and funded by the United States Department of Agriculture with the School and Community Nutrition Unit of the Georgia Department of Education overseeing the program administration.

Scintilla Charter Academy participates in the USDA’s National School Breakfast and Lunch Program throughout the 2023-2024 School Year. This option maintains the nutrition standards of the standard school meal program- including a strong emphasis on providing fruits and vegetables, milk, whole grains, and sensible calorie levels. We encourage all students to participate in the breakfast and lunch program offered by SCA.
