Our goal is to foster a passion for chess and support our students’ personal growth. Our vision is to create a community where young minds can thrive, learn, and develop essential life skills through the game of chess.

Our Approach

Our curriculum is based on 5 levels of progression. We do a mix of lesson time and problem solving time with the class theme in mind. We train students to build healthy habits from the ground up so that when they get into later levels, they do not struggle on the fundamentals. We provide a lot of out of class support to do including but not limited to online homework, tournament support, and family meetups.
