Berkeley Friday Night Beginner Class - Fall Two, 2017

NO CLASS ON: November 10 & 24

For the beginner class, students must begin on the first day of the session. No one can join after October 27th.

Students must be at least five years old, up to 6th grade.

This class is intended to teach the basics of chess to allow new students to be ready for the Intermediate 1 class.

Studies have found that chess helps improve test results in reading, science, and math, and produces growth in critical cognitive skills. Beyond academia, chess influences social behavior including self esteem, respect for others, patience, and good sportsmanship. And did we mention: it’s FUN!
