St. Isidore Virtual School is a Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12 Virtual School that is the newest branch of the Kenora Catholic District School Board family of schools. The school is named after Saint Isidore of Seville, who is recognized in the Roman Catholic Church as the patron saint of computers and the internet.
The school was created to welcome elementary and secondary students who choose to learn from home in a virtual learning community.
At St. Isidore, we strive to create the same quality, inclusive and values-based education in a caring Catholic school community that our students are used to from their home-based school.
Our dedicated team of teachers and administrators aim to keep students in St. Isidore connected to their home school but also foster a distinct, online community as well.
The St. Isidore Virtual School has a team of teachers, education assistants, learning resources teachers and principals dedicated to supporting students and families in the virtual learning environment.
Each student is assigned to a class and has a home-room teacher, just like a regular brick-and-mortar school.
Educators deliver real-time learning throughout the day to small groups of students to closely mimic the in-person experience as much as possible.
Attendance is taken every morning, and students follow the same time-table and learning goals as the Kenora Catholic family of schools.
“We would definitely recommend St. Isidore School to other families. What we’ve learned through this process is that the bonding and relationships, even though they’re not in person, are still there. The teachers really do know the personalities of our kids and that’s invaluable. We’re a lot more involved in the everyday of what our kids are learning and being able to support them in their learning everyday has been hugely bonding for us as a family.”
