Spring Chess at Fern!
The Chess Institute of Canada is bringing its popular and rewarding after-school Chess Club back to Fern Public School this spring.
All levels of chess players are welcome - beginners will be gifted with the universal language of chess knowledge, and advanced players will be challenged and raised to new levels.
All players will have a lot of fun and will benefit from the experience of chess club in profound and meaningful ways.
While learning or expanding their chess knowledge, students also gain important values and life skills such as goal setting, creative analysis, resiliency, respect for others, responsibility for decisions, taking risks, dealing with unexpected and disappointing outcomes, reflecting critically, realizing there are choices in every situation, etc.
Our instructors are all skilled chess players, experienced teachers and engaging personalities who will appeal to and elevate your child's natural abilities through this ancient mental martial art.
Chess Club will be held at lunchtime on Tuesdays starting on March 27th for 8 weeks and is open to students in grades 1 to 6.
The cost of the 8-week program is $104 and online registration is available at: https://www.chessinstitute.ca/register/ Just click on "Chess Clubs" and search for the school in the "Club Look-up" section beneath the buttons.
Please feel free to reach out to CIC Operations Manager Marcus Wilker (marcus@chessinstitute.ca) or Outreach Coordinator Katya Rudzik (katya@chessinstitute.ca) if you have any questions and they will be happy to help you.
