We are excited to offer a Winter session of After School Chess on Wednesdays beginning January 7, 2026 . 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.
Wednesday Chess is open to grades 1-2. The Winter Session of Wednesday Chess will meet once a week for 11 sessions on Wednesday afternoons from 2:45 – 4:15 PM. The dates for the program are: 1/7, 1/14, 1/21, 1/28. 2/4, 2/11, 2/25, 3/4, 3/11, 3/18, 3/25.
*If a class is canceled due to weather, we will hold a makeup class on a later date. The fee for the 11 Wednesday classes is $230
This is ideal for students who wish to improve their chess skills, learn new strategies and eventually compete in a tournament at the novice level. Our coaches provide fun and engaging chess instruction. They work to foster chess growth and spread their love of chess with the student population.
**Please note, no Wednesday chess class on 2/18** Signups are electronic.
We have scholarship opportunities for a portion of the class tuition if your family qualifies for free/reduced lunch based on 2024 income. If you have any questions please e-mail [email protected] or send a text to 914-772-8277
