Chess Wizards is a premier chess education company providing fun, informative and challenging chess lessons to students in PreK-8th grade. Our program is made for children at every step of their chess journey – no matter the skill level – with classes that build upon each other, starting with the basics and moving toward more advanced lessons as your child progresses from one session to the next. Chess Wizards teaches children how to problem solve, think critically, win graciously, and accept defeat with dignity and sportsmanship. Students will be divided into groups according to their chess experience. At the end of this session, each student would have had the chance to participate in a mini-chess tournament.

Our chefs-in-training will learn how to make delicious and nutritious recipes inspired by international cuisine. We will travel across the globe to learn about cuisine and traditions of Europe, Asia, Latin America, and more! We will master cooking safety, slicing, dicing, chopping, folding, baking, zesting, mixing, and more! All ingredients and supplies will be provided.

Dance, dance, dance to the best new music you love. Hip hop, cool line dance, jazz and creative - and make your own dances too! For all ages and experience levels, with a local professional dance teacher who knows age-appropriate movement and music

As old-school as Cos Cob itself - Dodgeball! Dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge your way to an exciting afternoon. Practice overhand and underhand tossing, as well as catching and spatial awareness. Dodgeball seems plain and boring? Not at Cos Cob- we have a few fun tweaks to modify any class to the desire of the students involved.

Compete for the Phoenix Cup! Students will be split into teams which remain consistent for the duration of the session. While playing with their team they will play a “regular season” in which records will be kept, then all teams will compete in a playoffs for their chance to hoist the Schmidt Cup! Students will be introduced to the Sport Education Model, and will work on their hockey skills as well as teamwork and communication.

A true fan favorite. Students will play gagaball, a game in which the students must use their hand as a racquet to hit or roll a ball at opponents. Don't get hit below the knee or you're out! Modified versions may include Classic, Trading Places, Among Us & PoisonBall.

Come to the art room and use your imagination to create!
