For parents & educators

Chess as enrichment, not just an activity.

You want your students or child to grow intellectually, socially, and emotionally, and you know enrichment programs can unlock that growth. You just need something structured, engaging, and built on real skills. That's where we come in. Day & Knight Chess Club brings chess education directly to your school. Our 5-week after-school programs turn chess into a tool for building focus, confidence, and critical thinking, all while keeping students excited to learn.

Weekly 45-minute classes mix lessons, puzzles, and live play through a rotating, level-based curriculum that doesn't repeat. Four distinct levels — Pawn, Knight, Bishop, and Rook — meet students where they are, guided by coaches trained to mentor and motivate at every stage. End-of-session tournaments and inter-school competition opportunities round out the program, alongside educational worksheets and take-home chess resources.
