The academic benefits of chess are undeniable. Many students that learn chess develop their abstract thinking, ability to concentrate and multitask. While these skills are not exclusive to chess, they are all a part of the game and consequently are developed because of playing chess. Children that play chess have shown improvement in their overall academic performance. The King’s Path Curriculum focuses on teaching leadership skills through chess. Critical thinking, problem-solving skills, conflict resolution and social emotional intelligence are some of the key areas that we focus on developing in our students. The King’s Path motto is “You’re the most important piece in the game.” We want our students to understand that they are in control of their lives and that if equipped with the proper tools they can achieve their dreams.
