A few common questions

Things parents always ask first.

What's the youngest age you teach?

We start at age 5 if the child can sit still for 30 minutes. Most families wait until 6 or 7 — there's no rush, chess will still be there.

How much does it cost?

Term fees vary by location and class length. We'll send pricing with your trial confirmation so you can see exactly what your venue costs.

Can my child join mid-term?

Yes — we accept enrolments any time and pro-rate the term fee. Most kids slot in within a class or two.

What does the trial involve?

A regular class, with a 10-minute informal assessment beforehand so we can place your child in the right level. No tests, no pressure.

Do you offer online lessons?

Yes — for families outside our metro footprint, or for the school holiday weeks. Live coaching with shared boards and game review.

What about tournaments?

Every enrolled student is invited to in-house tournaments at no extra cost. Rated external events are optional and we'll let you know when your child is ready.
