School Programs

Active Learning and USA Chess have a number of chess enrichment programs available for schools that wish to start an after-school or before-school club or other chess activity. Program costs depend on the instructor, duration of classes, and driving distance. Typical programs are one-hour programs one day per week, consisting of a half-hour lesson (taught by an experienced instructor) and one half-hour practice and play. If your school doesn't have a chess program, we can work with you to get it started. In most cases, there is no cost to the school (we bill the students or the PTA). Call us now!
