OUR

STORY

Since 2011, Chess at Three has made it possible for young kids to master tricky subjects like chess, all through the power of storytelling.

Founded and headquartered In New York City, Chess at Three's 400+ tutors have taught over 30,000 students to date and partnered with more than 600 schools.

Today, Chess at Three offers a range of programs, all based on the unifying principle that children can learn anything through fun, well-crafted stories. In Singapore, these include chess for ages three and up, playgroups for infants as young as six months old, and role-playing games for children of school-going age.

OUR

vision

We believe in children.

We never underestimate the power of a child's mind, imagination, and capacity to learn.

Stories are magic.

Storytelling is an underrated tool in contemporary education, despite being humanity’s oldest method of transmitting knowledge.

We set up the board correctly.

Having fun never comes at the expense of excellence.

We shake hands and say “Good game," even when we lose.

Soft skills like emotional intelligence are just as important as learning a game.

OUR

VALUES

Chess at Three focuses just as much on empathy, self-confidence, and sportsmanship as nuts-and-bolts gameplay.

We believe it's our responsibility to give kids the skills they‘ll need to succeed in every arena and reap the intellectual and developmental benefits that our programs so readily provide.
