Chess Makes You Smart; We Make it Fun

At the Junior Knights Chess Clubs, kids come first. We have been teaching chess to kids in Chicago area schools for several years.  Our chess instructors underwent an in-depth background check, attended Protect Gods Children Course and are trained to make chess fun!  Our goal is to help the children build a love for the game of chess while helping them develop academic & life skills.

Unless otherwise indicated, make checks payable to "Renaissance Knights:"
