Chess
Chess teaches children to slow down, see patterns and think several moves ahead. Students climb a clear ladder, from how the pieces move, to tactics and combinations, to planning and endgames. The program is designed by titled players — Masters and Grandmasters.
Two decades of chess, coding and robotics in schools — now live online nationwide.
Small live classes
Capped at 6 students in Pre-K–K and 8 in Grades 1–8, always live.
One trained method
Every instructor teaches the same Griot method, step by step.
