MISSION

Quality Instruction

Provide quality introductory chess instruction to all members of our community.

Academic Development

Develop better academic skills and performance for our students.

Character Building

Build character through teaching commitment, good sportsmanship, and perseverance.

Argentina’s poverty rate is now approximately 40%, and many members of our society have limited access to community resources.

Through our partnership with the Club Argentino de Ajedrez, we want to make chess – and quality chess instruction – available to everyone. Ajedrez Aspiracional is inclusive: we welcome all students regardless of gender, ethnicity, faith, or disability.

Chess is an excellent, efficient tool to drive better academic outcomes, thereby enhancing equality of opportunity. By improving scholastic performance, our chess students will have more attractive educational and professional opportunities.

Chess is a competitive game in which skill rather than luck determines outcomes. We emphasize the importance of working hard, treating opponents with respect and courtesy, and never giving up.
