Fun is the name of the game!  However, Silver Knights Chess Academy (formerly Magnus Chess Academy) also sneaks in a bit of critical thinking, sportsmanship, and patience into chess club!  Each week students of all levels do a fun but challenging lesson with one of our great coaches from our world class curriculum followed by practice games against other students in the class.

Join the 100,000 (and counting!) kids who've learned chess with us! This in-person club includes online extras like practice tournaments, Chesskid Gold membership ($49 value) and a bonus lesson with a chess celebrity!

House Day Wish List

9/16/2025 3:43 pm

Our Wish List for next year's House Program is now posted! All of these items are linked to our theme for the year, and are used to pump up students and staff for a successful and fun year. The decorations on the list are used throughout the year for different school-wide initiatives, and all of the books are the virtue-based literature that will be used for this year's house days!

This program is the heart of PSE, and our community is always so giving to ensure the magic continues.
