Classes are for new-to-chess and experienced players alike. Each class includes a learning, practice, and fun period, and kids will be paired up during play times with kids around their own level. 2:45 class, students will be brought directly to chess after their last class each Wednesday or Friday and have the option of being picked up by parents or taken to WonderWorks (if already registered with WonderWorks) after chess.
