HÀ NỘI, August 2026 — As the new academic year begins, the dining and kitchen area at International School ParkCity Hanoi (ISPH) welcomes students back with a fresh new look — one that brings together food, creativity and the joy of eating through a unique “Food Story” concept.
More than simply a decorative update, the new artwork transforms the dining environment into a colourful visual journey inspired by the ingredients that make every meal special. Across the walls, hand-drawn illustrations feature fresh vegetables, fruits, pasta and noodles, herbs and spices, bread, pastries and other food ingredients, creating a warm, playful and contemporary atmosphere that feels naturally connected to the world of school meals.
The concept reflects several values at the heart of a positive school dining experience: Fresh & Healthy, Natural & Nutritious, Fun & Creative, Farm-to-Table and Culinary Experience.
The colourful food illustrations not only bring energy and character to the space, but also encourage students to see food in a different way — as something to discover, enjoy and learn about. From the freshness of vegetables and fruits to the journey of ingredients from farm to plate, the “Food Story” concept creates a simple yet meaningful connection between what students eat and the story behind every meal.
For a school community like ISPH, this approach is particularly fitting.
International School ParkCity Hanoi (ISPH) is a leading international school in Hanoi, offering a British-based curriculum with internationally recognised Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level qualifications. With a strong commitment to providing a world-class education, ISPH creates an environment where every student is valued as an individual, supported to be happy and encouraged to fulfil their potential.
And that educational experience extends beyond the classroom.
A Menu Designed for Every Stage of School Life
At ISPH, The Caterers has been proud to work alongside the school since it first opened its doors in 2019. Over the years, the partnership has evolved with the school community, with menus regularly refreshed to provide students with a wide variety of nutritious and appealing choices.
Every day, The Caterers serves a diverse selection of dishes inspired by different culinary cultures, giving students the opportunity to explore a variety of flavours while enjoying meals designed with nutrition and balance in mind.
The menu is thoughtfully developed to meet the different needs of students at different stages of their school journey, including dedicated offerings for Early Years, Primary and Secondary students.
From familiar favourites to international dishes, Asian-inspired meals, fresh vegetables, soups, desserts and vegetarian choices, the menu aims to offer something for everyone — while making lunchtime an enjoyable and positive part of the school day.
More Than a Meal
A great school meal is not simply about filling a plate. It is about creating an experience that supports students’ wellbeing, curiosity and enjoyment of food.
That is why the new “Food Story” environment at ISPH feels so relevant. The illustrations on the walls and the food served on the plate tell the same story: fresh ingredients, diverse flavours, balanced choices and the joy of sharing a meal together.
As students return for the new academic year, the refreshed dining space offers a colourful new chapter in that story — bringing together food, design and education to create a dining environment that is welcoming, inspiring and distinctly ISPH.
A new school year. A new Food Story. And many delicious stories yet to be shared.
