Clubs

World of ABC, The Waldo School offers a range of after-school activities for parents to choose from.

Chess Club

Playing chess enables children to develop important analytical and decision-making skills and build the confidence needed to succeed in other logic-related subject areas, including mathematics and science. During chess class, students are initially taught to recognize and name the different chess pieces. Students then progress to understanding their positions on the chessboard, the specific movements each piece makes, and the strategies needed to play chess with their peers.
