CURRICULUM
Every program is $15 per student per hour, or $10 per hour when the school sponsors the program. Coaches place each student at the level that fits — from a child's first move through rated tournament play.
THE CASE FOR CHESS
Decades of research link regular chess practice to gains in academic performance, emotional regulation, and executive function. Schools that integrate chess see students who listen more carefully, argue more clearly, and persist through challenge.
Our mission is simple: bring quality, affordable chess to every student who wants to learn — without the price tag that usually comes with serious coaching.
— The Chu's Chess team
Every move asks a child to weigh consequences and plan ahead — habits that transfer straight into reading, math, and problem-solving.
Slow, deliberate play builds the sustained attention spans that classrooms reward and screens erode.
Losing a game gracefully and analyzing the mistake builds the emotional steadiness that carries into every part of school life.
Vetted, experienced coaches at $15 per student per hour — or $10 per hour when the school sponsors the program. No hidden fees.
SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS
We provide everything — vetted coaches, equipment, lesson plans, and progress reports. All your school provides is a room and 30 to 90 minutes per week. Parents pay $15 per student per hour, or $10 per hour when the school sponsors the program for its families.
