Our Mission

Our Mission

It is the mission of the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis, an educational organization, to maintain a formal program of instruction to teach the game of chess and to promote and support its educational program through community outreach and local and national partnerships to increase the awareness of the educational value of chess.

The formal program of chess instruction consists of classroom instruction and applied instruction. Applied instruction includes opportunities at the Chess Club and Scholastic Center to play chess during open hours and participating in or watching chess tournaments.
