Q300 Upper Division (Grades 5-8)

31-51 21st St, Queens, NY 11106

 

Our elective classes ensure that each student is able to establish a solid chess foundation. Students learn chess theory and strategies during discussions before putting what they’ve learned into practice during the gameplay sessions. Students are able to compete against peers in friendly matches and receive feedback from their instructor.

 

The after-school classes aim to build solid chess foundations through discussion of topics followed by practice matches. The students will be engaged in problem solving in addition to game analysis during each lesson. The use of small groups is deliberate in order to ensure that each student receives high quality instruction.

​

* 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.
