Learner Spotlight – Zack and Joel Mabie
Zack and Joel Mabie have been enjoying Academic Chess like crazy this summer! Along with a few chess camps, they continue to hone their strategic thinking, attentiveness, concentration, and enthusiastic, encouraging team spirit during Friday night open competitions in Laguna Hills. Joel says, “Mr. Brody has encouraged me so much to do my most excellent in everything I do. He is such a happy person.” Zack has built concentration skills long enough to beat his mom in a chess game (and that’s quite an accomplishment for a very active young boy)! They will continue chess this fall at the Independent Learning Academy in Aliso Viejo.
