CHESS CLUB
Grace Christian offers Chess Classes where students learn to expand their memory, creativity and problem-solving skills. Students meet once a week (every Tuesday ) with our chess instructor.
Chess classes are a fun, rewarding, and engaging experience for kids to learn chess in a focused classroom setting. Our certified chess instructor will work with our students to develop their chess ability and also help them develop maturity and learn life lessons through their efforts.
We believe that one of the keys to ensuring that students have a great time while learning and building confidence and self-esteem is having a culture that celebrates success. Students will experience this value in all of our programs as they learn chess and life skills which will prepare them to excel in chess and life.
