We are excited to offer a Spring session of Tournament Chess on Mondays beginning 4/7. Chess has been proven to increase analytical and critical thinking skills. Chess makes creative problem solving into an enjoyable and stimulating game. Countless studies have shown that test scores, self - esteem, concentration and creative thinking increase after being exposed to chess. This class is for advanced players who wish to participate in tournaments. We are capping the class based on tournament play and performance.
Monday Tournament Chess is open to Saint Ann's students in grades 1-5. If there is room, additional students may be admitted by permission only The Spring session of this chess class will meet once a week on Monday afternoons from 3:15 – 4:45 PM at Smith Street Arts & Lettres. There is after school pickup from Saint Ann's, which is included as part of the class fee. While this program is for Saint Ann's students, it is not affiliated with Saint Ann's School.
