Academic Chess

Playing chess has many academic and social benefits, especially when it is introduced at a young age. Chess is known to increase IQ, teach deeper thinking and strategizing, help children gain confidence and solve problems, develop patience, compete well, and visualize results. Academic Chess is a weekly after-school program for K-6th graders. Chess is taught by using story-based lessons that fit the needs of all skill levels. All students receive chess workbooks according to their skill level. The class includes lessons and play time each week, tournaments, trophies for winners, and a magnetic chess set for each student.

​

Athletics 

Multiple boys & and girls teams allow for all age groups to practice and compete at their skill level. Basketball, track & and field, and soccer practices are held after school on our beautiful outdoor sports field. Students also have the opportunity to compete against other schools and meet many new friends!
