Chess Programs for Grades K - 12
Virtual Chess Classes (Small Groups)
The virtual class structure is kept as close as possible to the traditional in-person classroom in that a 6-to-1 student teacher ratio is maintained, with lots of individual attention, class participation, interaction, games at end of class, and homework. It is very important during these times to keep kids active, focused, learning, socially engaged, and most important, challenged. LEARN MORE
Private Chess Lessons
In general, how does a chess player improve? A common and probably the most effective way to improve is to participate in tournaments, then analyze one's own games in order to find weaknesses, then to work on neutralizing these weaknesses. At the same time, a chess player should further develop his/her personal strengths. To be more efficient, one needs a help of a coach.
Future Master Class and Master Class
Advanced training for kids with an interest and talent for chess competition. Requirements: USCF/FIDE Rating of 1200 or higher. LEARN MORE

CAMP OPTIONS
Our camp tuition is based on small groups of students led by highly trained Chess instructors, as well as additional supportive professionals. By maintaining small groups of no more than six students per instructor your aspiring chess master is guaranteed to receive the individualized attention and instruction needed for this highly-skilled discipline.
