START A SCHOOL CHESS PROGRAM TODAY
Chess is conductive for children to
acquire higher-order thinking skills, problem solving
skills, reading, math and self-directional skills which are
critical to succeed in school and life.
Our programs
cultivate progressive learning for 21st century students and
the skills the students acquire are imperative for their
future success in the global information society.
Through our partnership with the
Kasparov
Chess
Foundation we utilize their three-volume curriculum, titled Teaching
Chess Step by Step. The materials take into account
children’s educational psychology, the importance of
entertainment in the learning process, as well as the
methodology of professional chess training and it’s impact
on students academic and life skills.
