The NSCF offers weekly enrichment chess clubs in schools throughout Westchester County, New York and Western Connecticut, as well as in South Florida. These programs run before or after school or during lunchtimes.

NSCF enrichment classes offer a balance between formal lessons and structured play time where students are paired with opponents of similar strength. Instructors offer helpful comments on the games students have played to encourage application of the concepts taught in the lessons. Students have fun and gain new skills for the chess board and for life.

Most extra-curricular chess programs are offered in partnership with the school’s Parent-Teacher Association. To help PTAs manage the program, the NSCF offers a secure online-registration system. Participating schools are given a dedicated link and a password that the PTA can distribute to parents to facilitate online registration. Of course, many schools still choose to collect payment from the parents and that works too.

If you are interested in bringing high-quality chess instruction to your school, for before or after school, or during lunch times, please contact us by email: classes@nscfchess.org or telephone: (914) 683-5322.
