Fairfax County Chess

Magnus Chess Academy has been teaching chess in Fairfax County since 2008. Over that time period we've taught more than 30,000 students in after school clubs, before school clubs, and camps. They include kids who've won seventeen state championships and four national championships, but most of our students are beginners looking to learn a fun new game. That's how all the champions start out too!

We've run programs at most of the elementary schools in the county.  We also run a ton of camps on days when students aren't in school, and in the summer.

If you don't see your school below you can go here to set up a club!
