The Knight School is the exciting national chess program that has finally perfected the kid-oriented, super-fun chess class! The Knight School is an amazing, interwoven network of elementary school chess teams. With several hundred school programs spread across the country, from Washington D.C to Denver, our summer programs are the perfect way for kids of all levels (from brand new beginners through highly advanced players) to have a highly developmental experience that will be the highlight of their summer!
There has never been a party-based approach to chess like this, and Dr. Brooks' unique, kid-oriented philosophy has made us 51-0 in our history! Our high-energy summer camps are developmentally and cleverly targeted directly at the rising 1st through rising 6th-grade set! We invite summer campers to come join the fun as kids learn to love learning, learn that they are unspeakably smart, and learn how to absolutely demolish their parents in chess! The Knight School is not just a 20+ time State Chess Champion school for both K-3rd grade and 4-6th grade; we are also the most compelling, kid-centered chess party in America.
This 90 second intro video was recorded during one of our summer camps and is a great way to learn about The Knight School: http://www.theknightschool.com/video-tour.html!
You can cancel at any time before or during the camp and receive a full refund.
Each camper receives a green summer "The Knight School" chess shirt and all the "TKS Tactics Bands" they earn throughout the week!
For our full day camps, kids should bring their own lunches. For all camps, students should bring their own snacks.
