Each Chess class follows four basic components: 

-Teach it!...Each class students are taught different chess concepts and coached to implement those concepts into their chess games. 

-Practice it!...Students practice positions set by the coach to improve their understanding of the concept. 

-Puzzle it!...Students are given chess puzzles (constructed by WIM Serafima Sokolovskaya) and work with coach guidance to solve them. 

-Play it!...Each class sends with students playing 20-30 minutes of chess. Coaches often feature in-class tournaments during the session. Class fee includes ChessKid.com membership for the session (a $49 annual value).
