Beginner Classes
Beginner: Ages 4-6, 7+
Our Beginner classes are perfect for students brand new to chess. They will meet the colorful characters who represent the chess pieces and learn why each one moves a certain way. Older Beginners will learn at a faster pace, but each beginner track will provide students with a solid foundation and an introduction to chess openings through our “Secret Mission” lesson series.

“He had a great virtual lesson with Jessica this morning! Set up was easy! Just wanted to give you the positive feedback on the experience.”
Jennifer Shahade
WGM and two time chess champion
“I’m the mom of a four year old boy who loves chess. He likes the classes a lot too, which really surprised me because 45 minutes is a long class for a 4 year old. The fact that they go back and forth from chess to story really keeps it interesting. I highly recommend it and I think it’s so important for people to play physically as well as on the computer because it really activates different types of learning.”
