Before registering your student for the program, please note that program levels are not based on age or grade, but rather on your student's specific chess knowledge of the game and ability/skills in playing.  Please refer to these guidelines when selecting a lesson level for your student.  Keep in mind that the game of chess is multi-faceted and takes time to learn.  In many cases, students may need to repeat a given level before progressing to the next level.
