Extracurricular

Excelsior Private School unfortunately has not got the amenities to facilitate any sports.
We offer chess, because of its ‘mental workout”
In brief – the benefits of learning / playing chess:
It raises your child’s IQ
It increases your child’s problem-solving skills
It improves your child’s spatial skills
It improves your child’s memory
It exercises both sides of the brain
It increases the creativity of your child
It improves the concentration of your child
Chess teaches planning and foresight
The benefit of playing chess is endless and we are considering of having a dedicated period once a week for grades R to grade 9.
