After School Program 2024

While the overwhelming majority of chess programs may―to varying degrees―do a fine job of teaching the mechanics of the game, strategy, and overall board consciousness, we on the other hand are far more concerned with encouraging life masters than we are chess masters.  In effect, we are the ones who ensure that chess makes a good “first impression.” We do this by teaching children how to apply the lessons of the board to their every day critical decision making.

When a child enters the world of chess, they are entering the “gymnasium of the mind.” As you well know, the refining of a child’s character is a daily challenge, and should you allow us to be a small part of your child’s development. We will aim to teach your child the game of chess and to show them how to apply the valuable lessons of the game to their everyday life.

Phase 1 of our After School Program begins with a 4 week intensive program and our Summer Camps happen over a course of 5 days (plus we have a bonus weekly tournament every Sunday from 2:30-3:30 PM online for our club members). All this is designed to immerse and fortify your child in the fundamentals of chess and ChessLife Strategies™, the life skills component of our teachings. Should you maintain your child’s presence in our program and encourage them to complete all 5 Phases of our Program, we will aim to do our part to ensure that they become confident and proficient chess players and—most importantly—as more measured and reasoning young boys and girls.
