Skinner North Classical School

Chess-Ed is excited to return to Skinner North to provide this unique, exciting and dynamic chess instruction that 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 through opening theory, middle game tactics and end game combinations.  Students’ vocabulary and math skills will also continue to advance. 

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. The chess program is open to students in 1st through 8th grade who know the general rules and basic concepts of the game.  Space is limited so JOIN TODAY!
