♟️ Chess in Schools ♟️

Some are learning… some are refining their practice… all are growing, thinking 💭, and competing with purpose.

Through our Chess in Schools program, our young men are building critical thinking skills 🧠, strengthening focus, and learning the power of patience and strategy- on and off the board. Every move matters, and every lesson counts.

Special thank you to Dr. Nantasha Williams for providing this incredible opportunity for our young men to grow and thrive.

Our 6th graders are trippin’… not literally 😅

They explored Central Park🌳🌳 to learn about the history 🧾of Seneca Village, a community founded by free Black New Yorkers in 1825. At its peak, the village had homes 🏠, churches ⛪, and a school 🏫 serving about 225 residents before the area was cleared to build the park.

History hits differentlydifferent when you learn it where it actually happened.
