Discovery Chess has been Richmond’s premier destination for chess education, offering programs designed for all skill levels and ages. We provide discovery, non lecture-based approach to learning and mastering the game.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player, our fun and interactive chess programs help build critical thinking, problem-solving, and strategic skills in a supportive environment.
Our Approach
At Discovery Chess, we believe in nurturing each student’s unique chess journey by offering two clear paths: recreational play or competitive training.
Our approach is non-lecture based, encouraging hands-on, exploratory learning that appeals to multiple intelligences. We incorporate childhood learning methodologies that are inclusive of visual, kinesthetic, and auditory learning styles, ensuring every child can engage with the game in a meaningful way.
Our program supports neurodivergent learners, offering a flexible, personalized experience and an sensory friendly safe zone in our center. With technology integration and a focus on a growth mindset, we guide our students to not only master the game but also to develop critical life skills.
