Barrhaven Youth Chess Program

A day at the board

About this event

Hello everyone,
We're thrilled to announce the return of the youth chess program in Barrhaven, courtesy of a partnership between the Ottawa Cavaliers Chess Academy and the Code Ninjas Academy. Our sessions will be led by the founder himself, with years of experience teaching privately and as a Chess'n Math coach.
Classes will run every Monday from September 23 to December 9, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM with no class happening October 14. Each class will accommodate 8-14 players. The cost is $20 per hour per child, totaling $220 for the 11-week program. There will be no refunds except in special cases. However, we promise to do our absolute very best to make this a meaningful experience for each child. We will do our best to help them if there are learning difficulties and they can also switch classes if one is too easy or too hard.
