The children are our future.
Let’s give them the keys to success.
Chess has been proven to help students be more successful in school by strengthening and developing skills including: patience, focus, critical thinking, and many more. Schools who include chess as an after school activity, or within their weekly curriculum, have benefited with better behaved students and higher test scores in all subjects.
Since 2015, After School Chess Club has been San Diego's fastest growing chess program with over 50+ schools. We are currently expanding into Los Angeles and Texas!
