Before and After School Chess Clubs
Let us hear from schools with chess clubs so we can post the information.
 

School chess clubs meet once weekly for one hour, either before or after school. Students develop chess skills with the coach's assistance through lectures, exercises, and tournament style play. Discounted subscriptions to Chess Magnet School's online self study chess school and Chesskid.com learning and play website are available through Inland Chess Academy.

If your child attends a school without a chess club and wants to learn and play chess, there are a few options:
1. Talk with the principal and suggest he/she contact Inland Chess Academy to discuss the progrram.
2. Contact Inland Chess Academy regarding tutoring and starting a home study program.
