ISLA En español
Innovative Services for Latino Adolescents (ISLA) is an academic after-school program for third, fourth, fifth and sixth grade students from Chandler Magnet Elementary School.

Students also participate in arts and crafts, field trips, and other recreational activities throughout the year. This program works to dovetail the school day curriculum by adding additional support and instruction.

· ISLA Summer Program runs for three weeks at the end of June and through mid-July meeting four times per week for five hours per session.
