During this time, we are looking for more to engage our children that is positive… and not Fortnite.  Chess Club is an activity that has many benefits and is also fun!  

Academic Improvement: Chess helps to improve a child’s academic performance.  Academically, we aren’t just talking about Math improvement, as some people mistakenly assume. Studies often show improvement in all academic areas - Math, English, Reading, Science, and so on. The reason for this is that chess doesn’t directly teach us math - chess improves our Executive Functions. Chess gives children better control of their own brains - more organized thoughts, better planning, better visualization, and better focus. These are skills that can be used on anything. The result is more efficient and effective learning in general.
