We are now officially a “German Chess School”!
We are happy and proud that we can now call ourselves a “German Chess School”. We have been approved as an official Chess School by the Deutsche Schachjugend e.V. and the Deutsche Schulschachstiftung e.V. for special commitment to school chess for the years 2022 to 2025.
We owe this bronze certification primarily to the commitment of our teacher Ms. Barry and our chess-loving students, who passionately come together and play during breaks, in various clubs and at the School Chess Festival.
You can find more information about our activities here.
