Whether your child is picking up their first pawn or preparing for FIDE international tournaments, our structured methodology builds cognitive acumen, foresight, and championship grit.

The Trial Chess Class
Step 1 • Diagnostic Session

The Trial Chess Class

The trial class is free. The session enables you to get a sense of Premier Academy instructional methods before enrolling your child. It also helps the Academy establish:
  • You and your child’s chess learning objectives.
  • Your child’s unique learning style.
During the trial session, the instructor will undertake an independent evaluation of your child’s attitude of the game and learning style.
Upon successful completion, You and the instructor will then both agree if your child should continue in either group or private class.
The Group Chess Class
Step 2 • Peer Interaction

The Group Chess Class

The group classes are interactive live sessions during which the instructor introduces a chess concept and gives a corresponding practice assignment. Students present their understanding, application of the concept and ask questions.
In the group class, your child enjoys the following benefits:
  • Interactivity: – by observing how other students understand and apply the concepts, the students will have a rich understanding of chess.
  • Positive interdependence: – the students will learn the importance of interdependence. The students will appreciate the importance of reporting to class on time and completing assignments. Your child will understand how their behavior affects the group.
  • Individual accountability: – even though the sessions are in a group, the students are accountable for their work, completion of assignment and mastery of material.
  • Self-confidence and esteem: – As the students grow in understanding chess, being able to present their moves to their fellow students, will grow their self-esteem.
The Academy’s intention, with the group class, is towards two key ends. The first is to give education on chess concepts. The second is to inculcate to your child, the values, principles and attitudes of professional a chess player applicable in everyday situations.
The Private Chess Class
Step 3 • Elite Mentorship
