Chess Club after school is offered every year to students in grades K-8 at Icahn Charter School Campus, Icahn Charter School 1,3,4,5, 6, and Icahn 7. Students learn the game of chess with their peers and participate in chess tournaments both in Icahn Schools and NYC. Students must be referred by their classroom teacher and in good academic standing to participate in the program. The after-school program runs from September to June. Ask your school's leadership team about the program.
