PS 59 Chess Club
The Chess After School program is offered on site at PS 59 on Mondays and Fridays.
The program is offered to our Kindergarten through 5th graders.
Dismissal is at 5pm.
From complete beginners to advancing tournament players, our goal is that all PS 59 players can experience both the joy & significant social/educational benefits of learning and playing chess.
Players will be matched and split into groups based on skill, interest level & age. This allows coaches to identify and create the right training environment for each player (complete beginner - advanced competitors).
Please reach out to the program directly for information on fees and scholarships.
