The Center invites children from kindergarten through sixth grade to the Center for fun-filled mornings of chess. Our program divides the kids by age and ability so that none are bored, and none are intimidated. All kids from absolute beginners to intermediate players are welcome. Children come from the suburbs and the city. Chess is fun, and playing the game teaches responsibility, improves discipline, and sharpens thinking skills.
Chess builds confidence and helps young people make new friends.
The program is run by chess experts with experience teaching young people to play chess. Most of each day is devoted to playing, practicing and reinforcing the lessons of the day. Each player receives plenty of individual attention. Students register for 4-week sessions. Partial scholarships are available for all who need them.
