Food for Life (FFL) is an experential nutrition education program based on the award winning Food is Elementary curriculum, designed by the Food Studies Institute. Food for Life takes a positive, sensory-based approach to educating children about healthy eating patterns so that they can protect their health through diet as they grow older. Students at Hampstead Hill Academy learn how to grow, cook, and identify the nutrition content of foods on a variety of platforms, including: a school garden, culinary arts club, classes during the school day, and monthly community dinners. Food for Life offers a wealth of opportunities for volunteers to engage with students first-hand, and to contribute to research and data collection. Hampstead Hill Academy is a preK-8 public charter school located very close to the JHU School of Public Health, in the neighborhood of Canton.
