Curriculum
Foundations of Chess
Welcome to the fascinating world of chess! At the beginner stage, our primary goal is to build a strong foundation that will set students up for success as they progress.
Focus Areas:
- Students will begin by learning about the board and how each piece moves.
- They will be taught to recognize key game situations like check, checkmate and stalemate.
- They will be taught about special and illegal moves to deepen their understanding of the rules.
- To begin developing their tactical skills, students will work on solving mate-in-one puzzles.
- Students will also learn the basics of chess notations to accurately read and record moves.
Rising through the Ranks
At the intermediate level, students build on their foundational skills and begin to understand the deeper tactical and strategic aspects of the game.
Focus areas:
- Students will learn to apply common tactical patterns, improve calculations and spot threats that lead to material or positional gain.
- They’ll work on multi-move puzzles, explore advanced checkmates and also strengthen their understanding of piece coordination and positional play.
This stage bridges basic skills with more advanced thinking for more competitive play.
The Advanced Conquest
Our advanced curriculum is designed for students ready to refine their skills and push boundries to become the best version of themselves.
Focus areas:
