Why Chess

Chess at Inspirasi Schools

Where Every Move Teaches a Lesson

At Inspirasi Schools, chess is more than a game — it’s part of our curriculum and a cornerstone of how we teach children to think. We introduce chess from an early age to develop analytical reasoning, decision-making, and emotional control — skills that shape lifelong learners and responsible leaders.
The game’s balance of patience, creativity, and consequence mirrors our broader educational vision: helping every child think ahead, learn from mistakes, and see multiple perspectives before making a move.
Just as in learning, every piece has purpose, and every move matters.

Why Chess?

Global Studies have shown that students playing chess:

  • Gain 30-50% higher maths scores and 10-20% higher reading scores.
  • Will see an improvement in their collaboration, attention and analytical skills
