The program

Built around your school's schedule

Our after-school programs operate in 10 to 12 week cycles and can be customized to the school’s needs. Educators of the after-school programs are both passionate about teaching and also advanced chess players themselves.

Students of all levels - from beginners to tournament players - learn strategy, focus, and problem-solving through interactive lessons, puzzles, and guided gameplay. Each class is designed to build confidence, critical thinking, and a lifelong love for the game in a fun and supportive environment.
