MSF runs a spacious cafeteria serving four daily menus: fish or meat, vegetarian, vegan and allergen-free, each with a main, a salad and a dessert, and water as the drink. The kitchen uses fresh, regional and organic ingredients in line with DGE guidelines, and was renovated in 2021 to enable on-site cooking. The Lunch Menu is published weekly on Fridays for the following week; lunch runs 10:00–14:15, and a café is open for parents from 08:15 and again at 14:30.
MSF is governed by the MSF Advisory Board, which supports the Director and the School Leadership Team in strategy, quality assurance and school development. The Advisory Board includes experienced school directors, a lawyer and tax consultant, and elected and nominated parent representatives.
