Art à la Carte is a robust enrichment program for our K–8 curriculum. St. Francis maintains a large group of professionally trained volunteer docents who teach a continually updated curriculum covering the principles and elements of art and helping students learn about notable artists. Docents teach up to 10 lessons throughout the school year(depending on the grade level), touching on painting, sculpture, and architecture tenets—often in a historical context. Art à la Carte is included in the school’s standard academic offerings, and the program’s docents are considered adjunct faculty and must attend training in the spring and fall. Applications open in the spring for the following school year. Chair is Colleen Dunlap, AALC@StFrancisHouston.org
