Scholastic Chess Programs
Spence
Chess at Spence School includes both an
in-school curriculum and several afterschool classes. For 2003-04,
Spence is offering chess as a weekly curriculum activity for
2nd graders. The afterschool program meets on Wednesdays and
has sequential classes grouped by age. Sophia Rohde, along with
Michael Khodarkovsky, directs the chess program. Spence regularly
sends teams to the New York City, New York State and National
Scholastic Championships, and is one of the strongest girls' schools
in chess in the country. Spence is also unique in that students
from other schools can attend the Spence afterschool chess classes.
