Our Philosophy
智慧体操 启智魔杖 国际象棋被誉为“智慧体操”“启智魔杖”,是现在世界上最流行的一种文明高雅的体育竞技项目,不仅能开发孩子的智力潜能,而且能够培养孩子勇敢顽强,积极进取的拼搏精神。著名的教育家、前苏联科学院 院士苏霍姆林斯基在他的名著《把整个心灵献给孩子们》中写道: “国际象棋——循序渐进的逻辑思维的最好学校”。
Chesstopia团队基于美国名校大学城而成立,和该大学的Chess Club交流合作密切,结合美国孩子的学习环境和特点量身打造Chess教学体系,并非一家完全照搬中国Chess教育模式的棋校。我们棋校遵循温和却不失严谨的培养理念,利用系统科学的教学体系,让每一个爱Chess的孩子都能受益匪浅,感受Chess带来的快乐和对学习生活潜移默化的影响。
