Thank you for your interest in the Chess Team at St. Joan of Arc Catholic School!  Indy Chess is excited to coach and coordinate the chess program on Tuesday afternoons from to August 18, 2026 to December 15, 2026 from 3:00pm to 4:10pm.

Students in grades 1st to 8th grade are eligible to participate, and the program meets in Room 113 (pick up kids at the main school entrance) on any day that school is in session.  The cost is $149 per semester, which includes workbook materials.  Up to six spots are reserved at no cost for students on public assistance (e.g., SNAP).  To apply for a scholarship spot, just fill out form and choose the "pay offline" option at checkout.  Questions?  Email Jerika@indychess.org.  The chess club will be taught by USCF-certified chess instructor Mike Chapuran, who also founded Indy Chess, is a USCF-certified chess coach, a 1650+ peak rated player, and has run more than 300 tournaments.

​

Students in the chess program have the option to compete on the SJOA CYO Chess Team!  There will be five Wednesday matches in late September and all of October, and a season-ending tournament on a Saturday on November 14.  That schedule will be sent as soon as it is available.  There is a CYO fee of $54/student, plus a T-shirt cost if a new uniform is needed.
