What do parents say about
Chess Wizards?
The in-person classes were amazing last year, but even the on-line versions are fun and engaging for my son. The instructors (and we’ve had many over our time with Chess Wizards), have all been awesome!
Sarah Kohler
My son LOVES Wednesdays because he gets to go to his Chess Wizards chess class! He has introduced chess and the concepts he has learned in class to our family and now we have multiple chess sets and all of our kids are enthusiastic about learning the game! The teachers help make chess so much fun!
Kristin Overson
We love chess wizards as an after-school activity at my children’s school. Such a great way to learn and have fun! The staff are entertaining and knowledgeable. Every time I ask my kids how was Chess Wizards today, they always say, "fun and we really like it mom!"

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you select your instructors?
We look for instructors who can work with kids- not just for people who are good at chess. Qualified candidates go through a background check and then are paired with senior instructors for training.
Do you do background checks on your instructors?
Yes, we do internal background checks on all of our instructors and also comply with each schools background check policy.
What is your teacher to student ratio?
Our classes operate with a 1:14 ratio.
What is the minimum number of students needed to run class?
Our official minimum is 10 students. Sometimes we will run a class with less students if we have an instructor available.
