History

The Taste of La Lumiere, one of the School's most beloved traditions, began in 1992 when a group of international students, all members of an international club sponsored by the French teacher Mariam Nasidi, found themselves longing for culinary treats from their respective countries.

In March of that year, a crew of 8 students, some dressed in clothing celebrating their heritage, shared their culinary talents with the boarding students and a few members of the faculty. The tradition has continued ever since with students serving as many as 600 guests. The last time we hosted the Taste of La Lumiere the menu included more than 100 dishes from over 45 countries.

Children 10 and under are granted free admission!
