School Chess Association

Playing chess contributes to academic excellence.

We strive to be the premier organization providing K-12th grade children quality run, kid-friendly scholastic chess tournament, and chess camp.

Our focus is on operational efficiency, excellence, improvement, and a relentless desire to provide children an enriching, enjoyable, and educational experience playing chess. We reward those who win the tournament and those who don’t.

Our widely popular Merit Point award system provides helpful and meaningful encouragement to children who don’t win tournaments by rewarding them for games they have won. Only licensed schoolteachers, chess masters, and experts are instructors, in our Summer Chess Camp.

Our summer chess camp runs for 7 weeks each summer Monday through Thursday beginning the last week in June.
