NEW
CHESS WIZARDS
We believe strongly that education should be fun and exciting. Since our first classes in 2002, our Chess Wizards have inspired thousands of children across the United States and Canada to think logically, solve problems, win graciously, and learn from defeat. Our academy is so successful because our approach is so unique. Chess classes and lessons are based around our original, fun, and high-energy Chess Wizards curriculum.
Regardless of a child’s ability Chess Wizards makes chess fun for all!
CHESS WIZARDS is presently an ONLINE Chess program for all ages and abilities.

Hikers can also connect to Davidson’s Mill Pond Park via the Farrington Lake Trail.
