Established 2014 · Chantilly, Virginia
Structured, in-person chess instruction for every level — from first moves to tournament play — guided by a US National Master. Build the analytical and critical-thinking skills that win on the board and beyond.
Why Chess
Our curriculum emphasizes problem-solving activities that require strong analytical ability and critical-thinking skills — habits that carry straight into academics and life.
Every move is a decision. Students learn to calculate, weigh trade-offs, and plan several steps ahead.
A clear path from Beginner to Tournament level, so every student is challenged at the right pace.
Two in-house tournaments a year let students test their skills and experience real tournament play.
Programs
All classes meet Sundays, 2:00–4:00 PM, beginning September 13, 2026 at the Dulles South Senior Center.
