Southfield School

Extracurricular Activities

Many of our students find and explore their interests through our after school clubs.

Our School

There are many after school activities available for Southfield students to participate in beyond athletics and we continue to add and enhance our program offerings as we identify interest from our students.

Whether exploring an early interest in civic leadership or an interest in math or music, our students enjoy many opportunities to explore their passions.

 

Advanced Visual Arts

Advanced Visual Arts is offered to 7th-8th Grade serious art students who are dedicated to building skills to become better artists. Students do not have to be “good artists” in order to join, they just need to have the desire to improve and willingness to practice. Students will apply what they have learned about the elements of art and principles of design. Traditional art genres (landscape, still life, additive sculpture, portraiture, and more) will be introduced and technical applications in various media will be taught.

Chess Club

Chess club is available for our students in Grades 4th–8th. The club will meet once a week after school. 

*Must have a minimum of 10 students for this club to officially start.

From technical lighting to prop making, it is a full theatrical experience of the highest middle school caliber.

Gaming & Digital Arts Club

This 10-week club of in-depth game play and development will focus on level design and team building. The club will expand on what the students are currently learning in their digital art and design class. The students will have the opportunity to work independently and in teams to create playable in-game levels. Different games will be played and broken down to understand what makes them successful and then the student will apply what they learn into their own creation. The goal is to create a fun filled atmosphere for the children to play and learn how to create various types of video games.
