The Knight School Research Triangle

 

Welcome to the Chess Party!

The Knight School Chess Team is your school's official chess team and chess party. The Knight School's approach has had amazing success -- winning multiple state championships -- because our unique and unprecedented educational philosophy, "the chess party," is the perfect way to transform a complete beginner into a devastating chess machine.

In this kid-centered classroom environment, we teach our kids every cool trick, strategy, and tactic in chessdom and our kids soon learn to love and master chess, their classroom, sports, and their home lives as well!

Unless noted otherwise, students must be enrolled at the host school to enroll in the Chess Class at that school. This is a policy set by schools, not TKS.

Upon enrollment, new students receive a TKS T-Shirt, chess set, chess bag, and all the colorful TactixBands they can earn!

Class meets in your child's school or online weekly, typically for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
