Chess Club
Interested in having your child participate in a weekly Chess Club? Please visit the Triangle Chess website for additional details on the schedule, how to register, and recommended materials.
A few additional notes:
- Chess club meets in the Seawell Library
- Pick-up is in the carpool area
- Parents send a note to the teacher on the first day if this is your child's first time at chess.

Our first day will be very exciting as we try to get to know your child's current level of chess knowledge. We separate kids in groups based on ability rather than age. The competitive ladder process helps them to be challenged while still being encouraged to improve.

We are excited about using a chess workbook series called the Step Method. We are very impressed with how thoroughly these materials cover chess topics and how they help players reduce errors. If your child has been in chess club before, then they may say it seems too easy, GOOD! The Step Method is designed to develop solid foundations with frequent tests before moving on to new material. There are a total of 5 workbooks we will use in the series.If you already have a Step Workbook, then bring it. If it is your first time at chess, then you will receive a workbook on the 1st or 2nd week.

All chess sets are provided on site.
