At Level Up Academy, we turn board games into brain games. Through strategic classics like Chess, Catan, Go, and Sequence, we empower children to think critically, collaborate effectively, and compete respectfully. Our tiered training programs cater to all experience levels, helping young players master the game and themselves. From their first move to tournament victories, we guide kids on a journey of growth—building confidence, creativity, teamwork, and sportsmanship along the way.
Every month, Level Up Academy hosts open-to-all public tournaments—inviting young chess enthusiasts from across the community to come together, compete, and grow.
These tournaments aren’t just about winning—they’re about showing up, thinking smart, and rising to the challenge.
