Our goal is to teach children in grades 1 – 6 abstract concepts of planning, analysis and strategy through the game of chess. Kids will be excited to understand and amazed by the positive experience that chess offers. We believe that when a child learns the most complicated game in the world, they will build self-confidence, develop self-learning tools and learn how to evaluate their own decision-making process. 

This chess class is fun and educational. Kids participate in mental gymnastics, learn chess from trained instructors, and experience competition with others. Kids who learn chess will sharpen their analytical and observation skills which will be very useful in many aspects of their life. 

Chess teaches critical and abstract thinking, planning, logic and analysis. It improves the ability to concentrate and teaches the value of good sportsmanship. Chess also teaches the importance of behavior management: making good choices and considering all possibilities.

●Chess develops memory. 

●Chess improves concentration. 

●Chess develops logical thinking. 

●Chess teaches independence. 

●Chess promotes imagination and creativity. 

●Chess inspires self-motivation.
