Every Master was once a beginner

At Calgary Chess School, we are passionate about helping children of all ages and skill levels to learn and love chess. We have been offering chess lessons to kids in Calgary, Alberta, since 2018, and we have created an engaging and competitive environment for our students.

We have discovered that online teaching and learning chess is more effective during the COVID-19 pandemic, and we are now focusing on online classes. However, we are still looking for opportunities to add more onsite classes as well, as we believe that face-to-face interaction is also important for our students.

We have classes for beginners, novices, intermediates, pre-advanced, and advanced students, and we also host online tournaments for our students to hone their skills. Our classes are designed to suit the needs and interests of each student, and we use a variety of teaching methods and materials to make chess fun and accessible. Our tournaments are a great way for our students to apply what they have learned, challenge themselves, and compete with other players from different locations.

Our aim is to help children develop a lifelong hobby that benefits their mental health. Chess is not only a game, but also a tool for developing cognitive skills, such as memory, concentration, logic, creativity, and problem-solving. Chess can also help children improve their self-esteem, confidence, resilience, and social skills. By learning and playing chess with us, our students can enjoy a rewarding and enriching experience that will last a lifetime.
