Our Philosophy
Benefits well beyond the board.
It is a fact that most of our students will not become professional chess players. It is also true that most student athletes will not reach the professional ranks. However, we as parents do not enroll our children in these activities with such expectations in mind. We enroll them for the benefits of socialization, higher level thinking skills, healthy competition and fun. Our Academy is also attempting to fill a void in our community. There are many choices when it comes to: dance studios, athletic associations and scout/brownie troops in our area. However, there hasn’t been a single chess club or academy in our area until now. We see it as our mission to share the magic of chess with children of all ages and abilities.
The Pennsylvania State Chess Federation has awarded Lower Bucks Chess Academy 1st Place for the Best Chess Club Team at the Pennsylvania State Scholastic Championship. This honor was achieved on Sunday, March 3rd, 2019. Congratulations to our students! Their recent win is a dream come true. Lower Bucks Chess Academy has now officially become the best Chess Club Team in PA!
