The Knight School: Chess Party
Description
The Knight School's Chess Party is back! We offer beginner-friendly chess classes featuring super-fun, high-energy chess lessons and tournament play. We learn color-coded chess tactics and strategies, which correspond to collectible silicone wristbands that show that students have mastered a certain tactic. Students try to collect all 28 colorful TactixBands. We also face off in tournaments, play fun games, solve puzzlers for candy, watch silly chess videos, and have joke contests—it’s a chess party!

Your tuition includes weekly chess parties, a chess set, a chess t-shirt, all the TactixBands Juniors can earn, entry to weekly online national chess tournaments, and entry to in-person TournaParties (half tournament, half party!) in May! Chess will meet on Wednesdays 2:45-4 AND/OR on Thursdays 3:45-5. We opened a second section due to high demand; both sections are identical, and students are welcome to enroll in either, or both if they like!

Why join TKS's chess party? First of all, for FUN! Second, Chess has been proven to increase standardized test scores, improve critical thinking and capacity for STEM-learning, and strengthen students’ problem-solving and focus skillsets! At tKS our favorite thing about teaching chess is instilling academic confidence. We love when students develop an identity as a “smart kid” who is great at the most mathematically complex game in human history—chess!

*A material fee of $40 will be applied to all families new to chess. This covers the cost of the chess set and t-shirt
