Chess Afterschool: Introductory and Developmental Classes:

Students are grouped by age and skill level and will progress along our specialized curriculum. All levels are welcome! Opening with Head Start™ Chess for absolute beginners, students will learn the fundamentals of the game. They will then progress to Advancing in Chess™, where they will learn advanced strategies and planning skills, and finally, to our “Diabolical” Grandmaster Inspired Tactics™, where students will learn from examples of the best of chess history to push their game to greater levels!

Team Play Opportunities:

Perfect for students who want to compete in the scholastic chess scene! Early in the school year, we will select 2-3 major scholastic chess events for your school’s chess team to compete in, with the help of participating families. Additionally, we’ll encourage participation in our Play N’ Go “Prep-Events” as often as possible. These events are much shorter, more efficient, and focused weekly competitions that allow students to train and build their skills and rating without the time investment required for major events.

We will always promote students as “ready,” and,  of course, the same competitive opportunities will be available and encouraged for all students!

Progress in both groups will be measurable and shared with parents, with their permission!
