Q300 Lower Division (K-4)
28-37 29th St, Astoria, NY 11102
Our after school classes offer a wide range of activities alongside chess. Students will be able to explore emerging technologies and hone their problem-solving skills through the groundbreaking Chess and Robotics class. Art promotes a creative way of thinking which will complement the individuality of each student’s chess play style in our Chess and Arts & Crafts class. Lastly, students will be able to benefit from the logical reasoning and pattern recognition that comes from the intersection between Chess and Math & Critical Thinking.
* Please fill out the form at checkout to indicate the level at chess. The participants will be grouped and divided based on their levels (the coaches will also do an assessment to ensure the participants are in their appropriate group) and whenever the kids are ready to be "promoted", we will automatically move them up to the next level.
