Starting a chess club

For the past 15 years, we have specialized in starting and maintaining chess clubs at Private, Charter and Public schools. Classes are taught weekly by a professional instructor and are usually 1 hour in length. Many clubs begin with the basic level and slowly grow as students gain knowledge and more students decide to join. 

TESTIMONIALS

Hear what our students have to say about our program.

It’s been 8 months since we started private lessons with Coach Levon. Alex is learning different openings and his overall strategy and understanding of the game have increased a lot. His rating went from 700 to 1400. angeleno Chess for Schools is doing a great job and Alex is very happy there.”

Lev is not just a fantastic coach, he is an excellent mentor.  With his guidance my rating climbed from ~1400 to 2200, and I won several scholastic state titles along the way.  By letting me lecture at his chess camp, Lev helped me become a better communicator, and our sessions at the board, poring over puzzles and games, gave me a passion for lifelong learning.”
