Level: Form I (K–3rd grades), Form II (4th–6th grades), Form III (7th–9th grades), Form IV (10th–12th grades)
Subject(s): Extracurricular
Description:
Meeting over the lunch period on one or two Tuesdays a month, students will learn skills and strategies of the game of chess by studying under an experienced teacher and playing together. Each semester concludes with a chess tournament.
NOTE: Chess Club meets at the same time and on the same days as Form 2 (upper elementary) Game Club; students in grades 4 through 6 must choose either one or the other, not both. (In contrast, the teen Game Club for Forms 3 & 4 meets at different day and time, so students in 7th grade and up can enroll in both Chess Club and Game Club if desired and space allows.)
Materials:
Chess Club doesn’t require any outside materials to be purchased by families except the student’s lunch.
The following classroom supplies and learning resources will be provided by BHSC:
- Chess boards and pieces
- Chess clocks
