Are you prepared to introduce your child to the timeless game of strategy and intellect? IWICA CHESS PROGRAM goes beyond simply teaching children how to play chess. Instead, we utilize chess as a tool to instill important life skills and foster character development. Our focus is not on teaching them HOW TO PLAY, but rather HOW TO THINK in chess. By doing so, they will not only acquire the ability to play the game, but also develop critical thinking skills, strategic planning abilities, and much more.

Our Chess Class is specifically designed to provide a fun and educational experience for young minds, offering an engaging and interactive approach to learning the art of chess.

To ensure that each student receives personalized instruction, our instructors administer chess assessment tests to determine their level of chess knowledge. Based on the results, students are placed in the appropriate chess program level and begin their progress from a customized starting point that builds confidence. From beginners to advanced chess students, each individual progresses at their own pace through the structured chess program, including tournament training. Mastery of each chess level is required before advancing to the next level.

IWICA is proud to be the only chess school in Asia accredited by the Ministry of Education, as well as the Thailand Chess Association. We are also recognized by the Indian Chess Federation, the National Sports Council of Bangladesh, and the World Chess Federation. Since 2012, we have been honored to be accredited by the World Chess Federation (FIDE) until 2017.

The beginner chess level focuses on the fundamentals of chess and gradually progresses to elementary and intermediate levels. Students learn various tactics, middle games, end games, strategies, and more, all with the aim of becoming competitive chess players.
