Pittsburgh Chess Academy

Private Lessons

We specialize in offering private lessons to students in grades 3 - 12. We offer lessons at different levels.  Whether the student has never played before and just wants an introduction to the game one time, or has played for years and wants to advance to the next level, we have instructors who can help.

Group Lessons

Many times students want to be in a group environment to either learn chess for the first time or to improve their skills.  During these COVID-friendly sessions, we follow a format of show it, practice it and then play!

Chess Leagues

In our chess leagues, students play each other over the course of several months, keeping track of wins and losses, with a prize for the winners in multiple categories. Students are matched up with each other to have the most competitive games possible.
