Ender Social Club for Kids — Chess

I enrolled my 9-year-old son in the Ender Social Club for Kids Chess program in Austin, and overall, it was a solid experience. The class meets weekly, and I appreciated the small group size, which allowed for personalized attention from the instructor, Sarah. My son really enjoyed learning how to play, and he even built some strategies that he proudly shared with me after class. He also made a new friend during the program, which was nice to see since he’s usually a bit shy. However, the drop-off was a bit chaotic on the first day, as there were several parents trying to navigate the same entrance, making it a little stressful. That said, I do recommend this program for kids who are eager to learn chess in a supportive setting, especially if they can benefit from the social aspect.

My son recently started attending the Ender Social Club for Kids chess program in Austin, and overall, we had a solid experience. The weekly sessions are well-structured, and the instructor, Kyle, did a great job engaging the kids with different chess strategies. My son built a basic understanding of the game and even made a friend who he talks about often. However, the drop-off process can be a bit chaotic with many parents arriving at the same time, which made it a bit stressful at first. The small group size was a plus, ensuring that each child received attention. The price is on the higher side, but considering the skills he's gaining and the social interaction, I feel it’s worth it. I would recommend this program to parents looking for a fun way for their children to learn chess and make friends.
