Announcement

Has SENG made a difference in your life?

"Growing up on the front lines of the competitive chess world, I watched scores of gifted children being treated like machines, their emotional needs neglected by impatient teachers, parents and peers. SENG is fighting a battle of immense importance. Each child deserves to be loved and listened to as they discover their own path to self-expression. I am honored to team up with SENG in helping our children pursue their dreams by embracing their uniqueness of being."

Josh Waitzkin, author, The Art of Learning
