What People Say About Us
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution had this to say about us:
Within the world of childhood sports and activities, a quiet revolution is taking place. ... More and more kids are discovering chess as an alternative activity. And in metro Atlanta, you can attribute at least some of that newfound interest to a program called Kid Chess™. ... So far, the program has produced two students who have won individual National Grade Level Championships and five Georgia Grade Level champions. Read the Rest of This Article >>
I have been extremely pleased with the way things are being run at Rocky
Mount. I appreciate the promptness of your staff and their interactions
with the students are positive. The coaches are so entertaining and
instructional, great with the kids. Thank you for such a great program!

Thank you AGAIN for sending us these terrific coaches. I cannot say enough
about how wonderful, friendly, and energetic they are!! The kids had a

I just wanted to let you know how awesome Kid Chess™ is and how much our daughter has LOVED it this year. She started in January as a novice first
grade player at school and then attended the camp at Findley Oaks this summer. She plans to continue in second grade this year -- she absolutely loves Coach Keith and Coach AJ.
Thanks for offering this awesome program,
Mrs Crumbley
My daughter took your class last year.
I do plan to sign her up again, but I also wanted to let you know what
wonderful teachers you had there last year. They were wonderful and so
patient with all the kids. They kept the class focused and on track.
Even though the class was a good size, and they only met once a week, I
could tell when they gave out trophies that they really had taken the
time to know each child.

Our son LOVED the program last year. He attended the
second session both semesters. We really saw improvement in his
game and thought process by the end of the year. Coach Lee is
awesome and so very patient with the students. He is very knowledgeable
about chess and I appreciate that he guides younger players to "a better move"
and explains a wrong move.
We have already registered for this year. He is ready and waiting to begin.

are looking forward to next year! Sincerely,

Thank you for all the generous donations you've made this year to my
committee. You're a wonderful Partner in Education but you're also a
wonderful parent who truly supports our school. And I don't just mean by
making monetary donations. I've seen you and your family at many school
events and you're always willing to come out and play chess with the
students. You've helped make Mountain View a better school and I appreciate
everything you've done so much!

We want to thank you for the outstanding presentation of chess to our Target
students. Not only were our "experts" challenged, you kindled an interest
in the game in some of the reluctant beginners. Mt. Bethel benefits greatly
by having your chess program. Again, a sincere thank you.
