Discover the Sammour Signature SystemTM: More than chess strategy, it’s a curated cognitive dance by Jorge Sammour-Hasbun. Beyond game mechanics, our handpicked instructors, each resonating with CMC’s ethos, teach strategies transcending the board, aiming for advanced cognition and critical thinking.
Proof of our distinction? Since our debut our students have dominate the  Rhode Island Interscholastic Chess League Competition and the Rhode Island State Scholastic Championships.
 
CMC’s ambition soars beyond accolades. We don’t merely teach chess; we aim to revolutionize how one thinks. Our curriculum integrates chess profundities with mathematics, spatial logic, strategic planning, history, and character molding. Here, students don’t just play; they evolve, navigating life’s board with unparalleled strategy.
For parents who envision a child mastering not just a game but the world’s complexities, CMC is your portal. Welcome to an educational revolution – where game meets a redefined thought process
