Taught by Coach Jay and Mr. Romano We’re excited to introduce a new Monday chess experience exclusively for advanced students enrolled in the Upper Musical Play. This small-group training session is designed to sharpen your skills, build strategic confidence, and prepare you for competitive play—all in just 90 minutes each week! From 3:00 PM to 3:25 PM, students will explore focused, single-themed lessons led by Coach Jay and his team, diving into advanced tactics, strategies, and problem-solving challenges. Then from 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM, students will compete online against a different school each week using a trusted digital platform called Rookly. As part of this experience, students will practice digital citizenship and responsible technology use. Rookly is a secure and school-friendly platform—students will use iPads, but there is no outside communication allowed. The chat feature is limited to the adult proctor only, ensuring a safe, focused environment that the school can fully support. This is an excellent opportunity for passionate players to deepen their love of chess, test their skills in real-time matchups, and experience the excitement of inter-school competition in a supportive, well-supervised space. Note: Class size is limited to ensure a high-quality, personalized experience.
