      • Wed. 5:00-6:00pm / Thurs. 6:15-7:15pm
      • Students become strong in tactics and look 4+ moves ahead. They can identify key imbalances, formulate long-term plans, understand more complex endgames, and even develop the ability to visualize the chess board & pieces to the point of playing chess blindfolded! While developing a student’s skill much further, this level also brings in key elements that are essential to understanding the deep strategic thinking that will be experienced in the Queen level.

      Chess, Elite - W 6:00 pm (CHELI)

      • Elite (1100 and above)
      • Wed. 6:00-7:00pm
      • Students work towards becoming a Chess Master. They learn opening repertoires that tie into middlegame plans, develop deep calculation ability, and advanced endgame strategies. They also learn self-analysis, chess psychology, and high level study habits. Players who choose to work through this level develop the experience of what commitment to long-term goals, consistent study, and disciplined training can lead to – an experience that parallels success in many areas of life.

In this class, students will learn how to take advantage of all the tools that Unity has to offer to build their own 3D games. In the process, they will learn how to effectively use Unity and gain programming skills in C#. This class is math intensive and will test students' geometry and spatial skills. We recommend some programming experience, though this is not mandatory. The age requirement is 11+.
