Taught by chess masters, the NCE chess instructors will prepare you for competitive play. Whether you have only recently learned how to play, or if you are already a competent competitor, your skills will be further advanced and your love for the game will blossom. Students must be familiar with the basic rules of chess, understand how the pieces move and have a strong interest in furthering their chess skills.

NCE begins immediately at the end of the school day. All students enrolled in an NCE class (including those in NEDP) will be dismissed from their classroom to the designated NCE waiting area, where they will be supervised by the NCE Onsite Coordinator until their NCE Class Instructor arrives. Students are welcome to have a nut-free snack during this time.
Pickup is promptly at 4:00pm. NEDP students will be escorted to NEDP at the end of their NCE class.
