The Knight School is a high-energy chess enrichment program that has been making chess exciting and accessible for kids for over a decade. Our programs welcome students of all skill levels, from complete beginners to experienced players, and help them grow through a structured but incredibly fun learning environment.

Each class features engaging strategy lessons, daily puzzlers that sharpen critical thinking, zany chess videos that keep students laughing, and lively tournament games where kids get to test their new skills. Students progress through our unique Tactics Belt system, a motivational ranking program that rewards improvement, effort, and mastery of important chess ideas.

In addition to weekly after-school chess classes, we offer summer camps, school break camps, Saturday tournaments, and online events that allow students to continue developing their skills throughout the year. Our goal is to build confident thinkers while making chess something students genuinely look forward to each week.

Programs are beginner-friendly and open to all skill levels.
