Chess in School
Our Chess in Schools program is dedicated to making the benefits of chess accessible to students directly in their learning environments. We work closely with schools to integrate chess into their extracurricular offerings, helping students develop essential cognitive and life skills through this timeless game.
Why Chess in Schools?
Chess is more than just a game—it’s a powerful educational tool that enhances students’ cognitive abilities, focus, and strategic thinking. Studies have shown that children who play chess demonstrate improved problem-solving skills, higher concentration, and better academic performance in subjects like math and reading. By introducing chess to students in a school setting, we aim to nurture these skills early, giving students a foundation for lifelong learning and success.
