You and your child can rely on the stability and predictability of our un-cancelable, delightful weekly class!
The Knight School has developed a souped-up, breakneck-paced Zoom experience that finally offers a truly thrilling and compelling one-hour chess party, enjoyed from the safety of your own home.
Our 19-kid “Strategy Squad!” friend-unit will collaborate, laugh, critically-think, bond, and perfect their chess games, and maybe even their childhoods. Strategy Squad! Is designed as a team-building, supportive, continuously interactive, friend group. Each week Coach and exactly 19 kids (20 makes a perfect Zoom Gallery View) will work as one tightly-bonded, Zoom-Class friend-unit to conquer ten compelling daily challenges (listed below) in order to collaborate and win the traditional TKS wristband and candy and sticker prizes. Kids only earn these prizes AS A TEAM, and as the final activity of this compelling, group-building weekly class, Coach switches to phone Zoom and walks out to the mailbox and actually mails the 19 stamped prize envelopes. Kids love mail at the mailbox! In a year of uncertainty, we’d love for Strategy Squad! to be your child’s haven of socializing, intellectual stimulation, chess improvement, excitement, stability, and delight.
If you are unsatisfied for any reason, we will give you a full refund.
Beginners welcome!
No meals are provided.
We will send you the Zoom link to join!
Class includes 10 daily activities including:
- Opening Monologue! Daily wristband color and tactic presented for our kids' digestion

- Fritzy! Fritzy is our hilarious, smack-talking pet chess engine. If the whole class takes control of Coach's cursor and beats Fritzy when he is set to "Reckless," then it's candy time!
- Stretch Break! Go fetch the Treasure of the Day! A spoon? Pillow? Don't be back last!
- The Cat in the Hat! Kids put on a fun hat, and our lightning-fast Simon-Says derivative, "ChessMaster Says" is played for exactly one timed minute; any kid is still in a hat? Candy!
- Jeopardy! Puzzlers: Did 100% of our class just Zoom Poll correctly? Candy all around!
- Tourney Fun Time! Exciting countdown to the end! 35 minutes total, 7 minute games.
- Awards Ceremony! Coach signs off each class while stuffing and sealing the stamped envelopes with candy and earned tactics wristbands and walking out to the mailbox.
