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 because our unique and unprecedented educational philosophy "the chess party," is the perfect way to transform a complete beginner into an enthusiastic and engaged chess player!

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