Chess ♟ is a game that once you learn how to play, you will enjoy it forever. While learning the game, students develop skills in critical thinking, focus, sportsmanship, and self-esteem. Now is a great time to expose your child to the fundamentals of this life-long pursuit that can be enjoyed by all.

Beginner 1A and Beginner 1B are stepped classes for students to progress together through game fundamentals, openings principles and strategies, and tactical play. The Mixed Level class is for those who have progressed beyond Beginner and wish to continue learning and growing in the game at their unique level and with like-minded chess enthusiasts.
