Chess has plenty of educational benefits. Children learn to concentrate and be patient, to think before they take decisions, to feel responsible for their actions, to consider the other sides possibilities, and to learn from mistakes. This course is built on the "Step Method", which has been developed in the Netherlands specifically for children. Simple games and chess puzzles prepare the children to not only master the rules but also to see captures, checks and checkmates at once. If you fully master the rules, have played chess occasionally and want to improve, or if you just want to learn the rules of the game.

This course is for beginners and for advanced players and will teach you the most important tactical motives and basic winning strategies in a fun way. For the younger group there is a special booklet "stepping stones" without text and with more pictures. For the older group a "Step Method" booklet is included in the price and there will be the possibility to take part in a competition.

We have increased the range of our German support offer for the spring semester 2024. We are offering 1.5 hours immersion into German for both natives as well as non-natives, ranging from PreK-5th grade.

For PreK and KG there will be one group of mixed German levels as offered during the regular school day, led by their current teacher Segolen Koschu. For 1st-5th grade we are splitting the classes into Native & Advanced and Intermediate.

For Natives & Advanced -

The ASA for Natives and Advanced will be a combination of fun and games, reading, as well as homework support. The homework load given by the German department is meant to be split into two sessions over the week, therefore the intention of the ASA is not to complete all homework, but get them well into it and understand what is to be done with the rest at home.

For Intermediates -

The ASA for Intermediates will focus on fun, games and reading. There is no homework assigned by the German department for this level.

There is no beginners level German offered in this ASA. If you seek this, please get in touch with me directly: jpuhrer@yahoo.com

Depending on registrations we will form groups, with a minimum of 8 and maximum of 12 children.

When registering your child please indicate which German class they are currently attending. We hope to accommodate all interested families, however, if the group is too small we might not be able to offer spots to all children.
