Academic Chess: Bringing the Game of Chess to Schools in Orange County, San Francisco, and San Jose
Academic Chess is a company that is dedicated to promoting the game of chess among children. With a focus on schools in Orange County, San Francisco, and San Jose, Academic Chess uses innovative teaching methods such as stories, dances, and catchy songs to make the game of chess exciting and easy to understand.
Chess has long been recognized as an excellent tool for developing critical thinking skills. It requires players to think ahead and anticipate their opponent's moves while also considering their own strategy. By playing chess regularly, children can develop these skills at an early age which can help them excel academically later on.
At Academic Chess, we believe that every child should have access to this valuable learning tool. That's why we work with schools throughout Orange County, San Francisco, and San Jose to bring our program directly into classrooms.
Our program is designed for students of all ages and skill levels. Whether your child is just starting out or already has some experience with the game of chess, our instructors will work with them one-on-one to help them improve their skills.
One thing that sets Academic Chess apart from other programs is our use of storytelling. We believe that by incorporating stories into our lessons we can make the game more relatable for children. Our stories feature characters who face challenges similar to those encountered in a game of chess which helps students better understand how different strategies can be used in different situations.
In addition to storytelling, we also use music and dance as teaching tools. Our catchy songs help students remember important concepts while our dance routines get them up out of their seats and moving around which helps keep them engaged during lessons.
At Academic Chess we are committed not only to teaching children how to play chess but also helping them develop important life skills such as critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. We believe that by providing children with these tools at an early age they will be better equipped for success both academically and personally later on in life.
