Mini-chess is included once a week in the school day for all children from Grade R to Grade 7 as we believe it is a perfect complement to our approach to learning and child development. Mini-chess is a unique educational programme focusing on early childhood development linking to mathematics, science and life-skills development. Scientific studies have proven that Mini-chess develops and improves logical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, planning skills, concentration, reading and emotional maturity. Many of these skills are fundamental 21st century skills that children need to develop
