The group classes are interactive live sessions during which the instructor introduces a chess concept and gives a corresponding practice assignment. Students present their understanding, application of the concept and ask questions.

In the group class, your child enjoys the following benefits:

Interactivity: – by observing how other students understand and apply the concepts, the students will have a rich understanding of chess.
Positive interdependence: – the students will learn the importance of interdependence. The students will appreciate the importance of reporting to class on time and completing assignments. Your child will understand how their behavior affects the group.
Individual accountability: – even though the sessions are in a group, the students are accountable for their work, completion of assignment and mastery of material.
Self-confidence and esteem: – As the students grow in understanding chess, being able to present their moves to their fellow students, will grow their self-esteem.
The Academy’s intention, with the group class, is towards two key ends. The first is to give education on chess concepts. The second is to inculcate to your child, the values, principles and attitudes of professional a chess player applicable in everyday situations.
