Do you want your child to experience the benefits of learning chess while still having fun along the way?

At Chess Mates, our chess classes for kids from Years 1 - 9, focus on fun, enjoyment, and cooperation, not performance and competition.

Our attentive teachers will help your child learn and build upon the fundamentals of chess, while also using chess as a vehicle for teaching math skills, social skills, and emotional intelligence in an interactive and cooperative environment.

School Performance

It’s been shown that learning to play chess from age 3 can improve a child’s overall performance at school by nearly 20% compared to children who have not learnt chess. In other words, learning chess helps your child to leap ahead of their peers at school.

Overall Wellbeing

Chess classes help your child improve their attention span, develop emotional intelligence, make friends, prepare to start school, and have fun… all at the same time.

If this sounds like an activity your child would like to do, come along to Chess Mates every Wednesday afternoon from 3:10 - 4:10pm in JA, during term.  Cost is $15 a lesson and is open to students from Years 1 - 9.
