FOUNDERS MESSAGE
“If you desire to invest in your child’s mental & intellectual growth, there is no better tool to facilitate that development than scholastic chess. I have seen chess transform me from an average student to crème de la crème in the nation – all within a span of 4 years. Whether you dream of your child entering academics, creative arts, sports, business or professional service, give your child this gift of life-long learning & development. You’ll be surprised how far flung and long lasting the impact can be".
