SCA Chess Academy

During these difficult times, learning and playing chess can be an effective stress reliever, as well as a channel to sharpen thinking skills in a safe and fun environment!

Chess is a unique combination of art, science and sport, challenging the brain to practice logic, acquire pattern recognition, make pictorial and analytical judgments, improve reading skills and test memory. 

SCA Chess Academy's online chess activities are as effective as in-person programs. They use modern technology and tools such as clear audio and high-resolution webcams, giving the child the best experience to think, visualize and make the best moves in a safe and healthy environment.

SCA provides children with a platform to experience chess activities in the English language at a high level with the guidance of experienced International Chess Masters.

Small group activities are capped at eight students maximum, and SCA’s signature curriculum is tailored made for nine levels of advancement, starting with an introductory level B1 for kids without any prior chess experience, all the way up to advanced levels for seasoned players.

Individual and team online competitions foster camaraderie and sportsmanship. Friendly banter is aplenty and kids say good luck and good game! They gain new friends.
