Bethany’s 6–12 chess program continues to provide meaningful competitive opportunities for students at every level. What makes this especially exciting is the program’s consistency. For the past four years, a Bethany team has finished in the top 10 at the state finals.
At the regional tournament held at Goshen High School on February 21, three Bethany teams competed, with two advancing to the Indiana State Chess Team Finals. The 6th grade & Under A team earned 2nd place out of 26 teams, and the 3rd grade & Under team also qualified for state. Bethany’s 8th grade & Under team will compete in the team finals on March 21 in Hammond.
From elementary through middle school and into high school, students have opportunities to compete, collaborate, and develop strategic thinking skills in a Christ-centered environment. Whether a student is just learning the game or aiming for state competition, Bethany’s chess program offers a place to belong and excel.
