Howard County Chess

Magnus Chess Academy (Silver Knights) has been teaching chess in Howard County since 2010. Over that time period we've taught more than 10,000 students in after school clubs, before school clubs, and our very popular camps with Glenelg Country School and Howard County Recreation and Parks. Our students range from state champions to brand new beginners looking to learn the rules. That's how all the champions started out too!

We run classes all over the county, with virtually every elementary school, plus a few middle schools.  Students can also sign up for those one at a time.  For more information on a program, select it below.  During the 2021-2022 school year, we also have a package of online school break camps for days when HCPSS isn't in session, though you can also sign up for those one at a time.
