After School
Chess Scholars
St. Isidore School partners with Chess Scholars to provide chess lessons for students in Gr. 1-8. This group meets weekly, providing instruction to children at their individual levels. Students of all chess ability levels enjoy learning and challenging each other as they grow in their enjoyment of the game.
Young Rembrandts
Young Rembrandts is a fine arts enrichment program that uses unique and proven method to educate students in Gr. K-6 in drawing skills. Visual learning skills are also developed during this fun after school one-hour class. Students create a different piece of art every week that is displayed in the school hallway.
The program teaches the student to draw while developing fine motor skills, concentration, creativity and confidence. YR presents drawing lessons that encompass a fascinating world of color, pattern and design. Students will strengthen their marker rendering skills as they draw a detailed gumball machine. A drawing of a sandwich will make them “hunger” for more art. We’ll travel back in time to the age of pharaohs as we draw a decorative Egyptian headdress. An illustration celebrating the fall season will introduce our artists to warm and cool colors. Our detailed drawing of a dragonfly will celebrate on of nature’s most curious insects. An illustration of a popular automobile will entertain the more technical minded student, and a holiday rendering of a nutcracker will remind us of the holiday season. All this and more!
