Weekly Lessons
Lessons are customized to the group and range from going over students own games, strategic topics or even classic or current world chess matches.
Play and Practice
Students will get a lot of opportunities to play games with their fellow classmates and even their coach to reinforce what they’ve learned. Oftentimes coaches will set up mini tournaments in class so they can see how their students are grasping new concepts and what needs to be worked on further.
