Description
Chess curriculum is not about Kings, Queens and Rooks; it's about quadrants and coordinates, foreseeing consequences, and thinking strategically. With classrooms becoming increasingly diverse, chess has proven to be a common playing field that links students together. Language, socioeconomics, religious affiliation, and gender simply don't matter when kids learn through chess. Discover how chess as a learning tool develops higher-level thinking skills, advances math and reading skills, and builds self esteem in kids. Come play your way to Exemplary!
