Eat REALÂ Certifiedâ„¢ is a powerful way for communities to come together to improve food in schools.Â
Modeled after the LEED Green Building Certification, Eat REAL’s certification program is built on comprehensive evidence-based standards that support continuous improvement. We partner closely with school Food Service Directors, giving them tools to lead the change.Â
Third-party registered dietitians (RDs) lead an in depth, comprehensive assessment. The point-based system supports school districts to design and customize their action plans.
As a school district achieves Eat REAL Certification, we support community engagement and awareness building.
