Sight is what you see with your eyes, Vision is what you see with your mind."
Chess Vision's goal is to provide a positive and encouraging environment for children to learn and develop as individuals. We see chess as an opportunity for students to have fun, learn and play chess while reinforcing important skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, concentration and patience.
The safety of our students is Chess Vision’s first concern. All of our instructors have been through an in-depth personal interview and training program to ensure that they know how to make chess fun for kids.
Instructor Tony Hann and Master and 2007 State Champion Radu Roua have more than 15 years of experience coaching students of all levels from beginners to state champions. They started Chess Vision a year ago and have quickly gained a loyal following.

Please note: All LEGO® classes are one-year commitments; you will not need to register again for the spring term. We will bill for the spring class in February. If a student wishes NOT to continue with the spring class, please notify the EC office in writing by January 7. We will then place students who are on the wait lists into open slots in Pre LEGO® , LEGO® Physics , and Lego® Builders only. Under the Lego® Program you are paying for one less class per term to allow for unexpected class cancellations.
