Our curriculum is designed to teach kids based on their age, interest, ability, level of play and time commitment. In our teaching process we stay away from computer generated teachings, no computer puzzles and no video instructions.
We do support playing chess games against computers for practice, but we encourage students to play in real tournaments and analyze games with computers rather than play with them. We also support students playing chess on-line with each other. This is a great habit that brings chess to life for your child.
