Many students elect to compete in tournaments after starting chess as an elective. Throughout the years, several of our Upper School chess players have placed at the top in local tournaments. Our most improved player has gone up 5 classes in 3 years.
At the Queen City Classic, The Schilling School took 3rd place in the 7th - 9th grade division behind two regional all-star teams, making us the top single-school team.
