Master Student Academy
Our Master Student program is comprised of 12 sessions conducted over the summer. Each session covers useful information for students transitioning from primary to middle school and middle to high school.
Studies have shown that students that participated in a Chess program improved their basic reasoning and verbal skills, which are the fundamentals of comprehension.
The Chess to Success Program will use the game of chess as a learning tool for improving the reasoning, verbal and social skills of students; thereby allowing students the opportunity to improve their academic performance, build their self-confidence and self-esteem and gain a greater appreciation for education.
The College Preparation Project provides parents with tools that will help them navigate the college preparatory system more efficiently to maximize the parent/student relationship while researching post secondary education options and career tracks.
