Attention Newport Heights Parents!
This course is designed to compliment to the NHE chess club curriculum, and will provide some extra chess experience, advice and one-on-one time with the coach (the class is capped at a maximum of 12 students.) It's also a nice option in case the school club fills up and you want to give your child a high-powered chess experience!
