Families have the option to select the price that works best for their individual situation. We know that youth benefit from participating in high-quality out-of-school time (OST) programs. OST programs keep kids safe and inspire them through continuous learning in safe and fun environments. We aim to remove financial barriers families may face when considering their involvement in youth programs. One of our strategies is a new payment option for families. When selecting the price for a Pick Your Price course, you can choose the best price for your situation. Regardless of the price selected, the course offered is the same for all students. There is no difference in instruction, supplies or what is offered in the course. We ask families to partner with us in this initiative and support one another by selecting the best price for their current financial situation. When we work together, we can provide positive and meaningful youth programs for each student. Thank you for your continued support of our youth programs!

Parents consistently report that their children can sit and concentrate on their chess games for longer and longer after only a few structured chess classes. This translates to their other studies, strengthening their ability to sit and learn other subjects. Method of Instruction: Such as simulations, role playing, lecture, group discussion, etc. Our chess instructors are challenging and fun, while smoothly increasing the level of skill and understanding of each student. When teaching chess is approached that way, the kids remain interested and they improve. A chess lesson consists of 20 dynamic minutes taught by our Chess instructors. Lessons are aided by a 2-dimensional demonstration board. This instruction is highly interactive and exciting for the kids. Lessons are followed by practice with puzzle solving and playtime on tournament sets that Twin Cities Chess Club provides. The instructors supervise the play, teach how to fix mistakes, and creatively problem solve. Course is taught by Twin Cities Chess Club
