The East Woods Chess Team welcomes students from Kindergarten through Ninth Grade.
For many years, East Woods has had a strong and established chess community due to their after-school chess program led by Chess Master, Mr. John Kennedy. Three times a year, the chess team competes against teams from other Independent schools, including Buckley Country Day School, Green Vale School, Portledge School, Friends Academy and Long Island Lutheran in Inter School Exchange (ISE) chess tournaments. For several consecutive years, the East Woods School Chess Team was named the overall Inter School Exchange (ISE) Chess champion.
Please contact Mrs. Valerie Ubertini if you are interested in joining the Chess Team.
