Testimonials

My son Zac really likes VCS programs. It helped him from zero knowledge to a bit obsessed to chess now. I also like the VCS operation system that helps kids to focus on there target and motivate them to reach their target whether low or high.

We have been thrilled with the experience our son Gabriel has had at Vancouver Chess School. The organization of the educational process is outstanding, ensuring a high-quality learning environment. A notable aspect is the frequent internal and external tournaments, which have been instrumental in Gabriel's swift progress - something we started noticing just a few weeks into his lessons. The digital component of the lessons and the support offered to students are, in our opinion, the strongest and most unique aspects of their teaching program. This innovative approach has significantly contributed to our son's engagement and understanding of chess strategies. Moreover, the atmosphere in both physical and online classes is wonderfully healthy and conducive to learning. The online classes, in particular, maintain a level of interaction and enthusiasm that is truly commendable. We are immensely grateful to the instructors at Vancouver Chess School for their dedication and expertise. Their efforts have played a crucial role in our son's impressive progress in chess. Thank you for providing such a nurturing and effective learning environment!

Strongly recommend National Preparation Program workshop at Vancouver Chess School by Coach Gyan and Coach Maxim, their lectures are concise and dig into deep concept in a easy to understand way for the youth, the chess games are fun and group discussion are intelligent stimulating and Coach is deeply involved with guiding them for critical thinking. My Son Moses Li learned a lot through the workshop, not only he learned chess, but also he learned the way of thinking in a tournament, hopefully he can use it in other parts of the life as well. And more important, he like the class and coaches and classmates, and 3 hrs goes by like fly and he can be totally focused without parents involvement.

It's a place where learning and fun intersect seamlessly, evident in my son's enthusiasm to attend each session. Thank you, Vancouver Chess School, for making a significant impact on my son's life!

VCS is a great place to learn chess. My kid loves the weekly classes and tournaments. Teachers are professional and patient, and classes are well organized. VCS also hosts monthly Vancouver Chess Festivals and various events, such as Pro-D day chess camp and Sunday chess club, to encourage players to learn and participate. Highly recommended!
