Chess Wizards is a premier chess education company providing fun, informative and challenging chess lessons to students in PreK-8th grade. Our program is made for children at every step of their chess journey – no matter the skill level – with classes that build upon each other, starting with the basics and moving toward more advanced lessons as your child progresses from one session to the next. Chess Wizards teaches children how to problem solve, think critically, win graciously, and accept defeat with dignity and sportsmanship. Students will be divided into groups according to their chess experience. At the end of this session, each student would have had the chance to participate in a mini-chess tournament.

For many years, SAGA has offered a robust Blockflöte/Recorder program providing high-quality music instruction for all ages and skill levels. In this program, our youngest beginners are introduced to the wonderful world of music alongside the "Music Cat." Together, students will learn the foundations of playing the recorder while experiencing music dynamically through their entire bodies—listening, singing, and dancing. Engaging rhythmic exercises and games will enrich their musical journey.

The more advanced classes (current students or students with previous experience on the recorder) will expand on their knowledge of music reading and performing, learning how to cooperate in an ensemble and eventually delving into more challenging musical literature. 

We are excited to introduce a brand-new beginner class specifically for 1st and 2nd-grade students. Designed for those with no prior experience, this class focuses on building a strong, joyful musical foundation from the very ground up.
