We encourage and support healthy lifestyle habits including:

• A nutritious, whole food diet focusing on fresh produce and whole grains, and featuring as much organic and/or locally sourced food as possible and accommodating a range of dietary needs (dairy-free, gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan) and food allergies
• Gym visits Monday through Friday mornings
• Adequate hydration—with good old-fashioned water; no sweetened drinks
• Physical exercise that is varied, takes place outdoors as often as possible, and gets the heart rate up. 
• Adequate sleep, on a schedule that accommodates the unique circadian rhythms and sleep demands of teenagers
• Abstinence from nicotine
• Daily mindfulness activities such as yoga, biofeedback and meditation
• Opportunities for spiritual connection such as immersion in nature, moments of silence and gratitude before meals and service work.
