In the quietest room in our centre, the loudest thinking happens. Chess teaches children to slow down, plan ahead and live with their decisions - skills that follow them everywhere.

chess-3Teachers everywhere report the same thing: children who can scroll for hours cannot sit with one hard problem for ten minutes. Attention is trainable - but almost nothing in a child's day trains it.
Chess does, one move at a time: think before you act, consider the consequences, and stay calm when the plan falls apart.
Our chess program follows the Chess Steps Method, a globally recognised curriculum used by national chess federations in more than 30 countries. Six clear steps take a child from first move to competitive strength, with a real assessment before every promotion, so progress is never a guess. Every new student starts with a free placement assessment, so a true beginner starts at Step 1 and a child with prior experience starts at the step that actually matches their ability. Students who reach Step 5 or 6 can continue into our Elite Pathway, with smaller groups and dedicated tournament preparation.
ACTVET-accredited and teaching in Abu Dhabi since 2016, with small batches in every program - including this one.
Small batches mean every child is taught, not just present - each gets a plan that fits.
ACTVET-accredited since 2016, with internationally recognized certificates for completed programs.
Specialist coaches chosen as much for kindness as for credentials - children learn fastest from people they trust.
Yes. Every new student takes a short, free placement assessment first, so a true beginner starts at Step 1 (how the pieces move, upwards) and nobody is placed by guesswork. Children who progress through to Step 5 or 6 can continue into our Elite Pathway for tournament preparation.
Committed players are prepared for school and club-level tournaments, and we encourage competition when a child is ready - never before. Confidence first, trophies second.
Fees are set by level/step, paid monthly. Elite Pathway and private coaching are priced separately - book a free placement assessment and we will confirm the right step and the exact fee.
