TKS Jacksonville offers a fun weekly after school chess program to schools in Duval and St Johns
REB Phillips took his 25 years of tennis management and coaching to The Knight School in January of 2017 after seeing the positive impact chess was having in the lives of so many children. He believes the values, critical thinking skills, and social development gained through this awesome curriculum are essential to the youth of today.

Little Geniuses is a fantastic introduction to chess for pre-K students. Children sing and dance, have chess puppet shows, play fun games and learn the basics. It is a positive first exposure to the game of a lifetime and is a great spring board into TKS as a Kindergartener.
