Curricular Programs

The NSCF emphasizes curricular programs as the most effective way to provide children with the benefits of a chess education. The NSCF works closely with schools to ensure that curricular programs fall within their educational philosophies.

Enrichment Programs

The NSCF also offers extra-curricular enrichment programs. These programs offer children the opportunity to improve their practical skills through supervised play and proper guidance.

Community Classes

In order to service areas which do not have school-based programs, the NSCF offers chess learning opportunities at various community youth centers .

Summer Chess Program

The NSCF also offers instruction during the summer months, allowing children to immerse themselves fully in chess for a period of time, and to form relationships with students from other schools.

Tournaments

Tournament activity is supported by the NSCF because it helps to encourage students to test themselves against players of all ages. Tournaments are scheduled on a regular basis to provide students with the opportunities to challenge and improve themselves.
