True warriors are ambitious. They strive for greatness and set goals that challenge them to improve. WCA nurtures this ambition, encouraging students to aim higher and keep pushing their boundaries.

Every champion faces setbacks, but only those who learn to rise after a fall truly succeed. Resilience is at the heart of every warrior, teaching them to learn from losses and keep going.

Respect for the game, for opponents, and for oneself is essential. At WCA, we foster a culture of respect, emphasizing sportsmanship, humility, and the value of every player.

Integrity is a core pillar in our academy. We teach our students to be honest, fair, and committed to ethical play, whether they’re playing a casual game or a high-stakes match.

Chess is a game of observation, where attention to detail can be the difference between winning and losing. Our warriors are trained to be keen observers, noticing patterns and predicting their opponent’s moves.

A second emphasis on resilience highlights its importance. In every warrior’s journey, they will encounter challenges that test their limits. This repeated resilience shapes them into well-rounded individuals who can face life’s challenges.
