CIC online classes teach life skills through chess. They’re led by trained instructors and tailored to all skill levels. Plus, they’re super fun!
Our Playful Pawn and Rookie Rook classes are quick, introductory chess lessons where fun is rule number one. They are filled with group activities where children laugh and learn, making friends while absorbing the basics of chess.
For children who know how to play chess and would love to learn how to play well. They know the rules, know how to play to checkmate, and enjoy the game, but they wish to play better. Here, at the intermediate level, they will learn the skills to elevate their game.
For those who have completed Noble Knights curriculum, taken a Future Masters course, or been recommended by their instructor. In the Advanced Workshops, students add to their foundational knowledge of chess a more sophisticated understanding openings, gambits, and endgames.
CIC In-Person Programs teach life skills through chess. They’re led by trained instructors and tailored to all skill levels.
Join our lunchtime and afterschool chess clubs for camaraderie, intellectual challenge, and to develop life skills.
At your business, institution, or chess club, we will teach life skills through chess to you, or for you.
