The Nashville Chess Center's Chess for Children Program is a primary focus of our organization. We teach chess to secondary and elementary age students in order to promote the benefits of chess that “translate” into other aspects of life.
These benefits include:
- Enhanced problem solving and logical reasoning skills
- Increased attention span
- Improved patience and self-esteem
- Demonstrated correlation between the study of chess and increased math and reading standardized test scores.
The Chess for Children Program is designed to demonstrate these benefits by analyzing the academic performance and social behavior of children in the program by comparison with prior performance, as well as in comparison with other students not involved in the program. Academic comparison focuses on both classroom grades and standardized test scores.
Since 2000, NCC-sponsored chess programs have consistently served over one thousand students annually.
