Chess-Ed will once again provide this exciting, dynamic and professional chess instruction which lifts each student to a new level of expertise. Each week students will enjoy an engaging lesson with supervised time to play classmates. Students will grow their knowledge of the game from the basics of chess through opening theory, middle game tactics and end game combinations. Students’ vocabulary and math skills will grow as well. Studies confirm that the student who plays chess does better academically. Playing chess increases IQ performance, improves memory, uses analytical and critical thinking skills, teaches problem solving, responsibility, sportsmanship, social skills and more.
Participants must be entering grades 6 to 8.
Registration starts on 11/11/2024 and ends on 11/18/2024.
