ELA Green School Vousin Successfully Composed the 2nd District-Level Chess Tournament with King’s Mate Chess Academy

 


We are happy to tell you that the collaborative work with King’s Mate Chess Academy to host a 2nd District-Level Chess Tournament at ELA Green School was a great success. It is a matter of great excitement for all of us that the event received overwhelming participation from students, schools and the whole district, and indeed, this is the very reason for the commitment of ELA Green School to the holistic development along with achievement of set academic goals.

The tournament, which is just one of wonderful features of the beautiful and eco-friendly Green School, which is one of the best IB schools in South India, brought together more than 300 students from 65 to 70 schools, which is a remarkable number for educational tournaments of this kind. The success of the tournament is vividly illustrated by the fact that students did not just come from the neighbouring areas, for example, Madhuranthakam and Tambaram, but from far places as well. The event was aimed at providing a chance to students to display their strategic and disciplined competitive skills along with sportsmanship and all the habits that ELA Green School produces in all of its learners.

Like other international schools around Oragadam, ELA Green School seeks to provide its learners, and even the larger community, activities that go beyond academic learning. Chess is a game whose benefits are both mental and emotional. It also fits perfectly well with the school’s philosophy of developing calin critical thinkers with the ability to think a few steps ahead, a skill that is valuable in, and outside, school.

A Day of Strategy, Sportsmanship & Celebration

Different age groups participated at the same time in the tournament, and the arrangements to have them compete in groups made the competition both fair and healthier. The level of enthusiasm and focus of the young contestants was comparable to the chess pieces on the board. Even better was the fact that the young contestants were not the only ones who participated, as their different families, coaches, and school leaders were also present, which goes a long way in showing unity in the spirit of competition.

Along with the presence of trained arbiters, the event’s rigid timetable made sure that all activities were completed on time and orderly. In the end, the participants were recognized with participation certificates, and the winners took home medals and trophies which rewarded them for their immense hardwork, love, and effort for the game.

Developing Global Citizens and Leaders for Tomorrow

ELA Green School, being one of the most recognized IB schools in Tamilnadu, takes remarkable strides in nurturing future-ready global citizens, with hosting this prestigious tournament being one of them. The IB curriculum at ELA fosters inquiry-based learning and creativity, along with cross-cultural appreciation and understanding. The co-curricular activities at the school, like chess, accompany this well.

The tournament showcased the school’s importance in the community’s life. The students got not only the accolades but the invaluable experiences and new bonds that they got were far more precious.

Acknowledgment of the Partners and Participants

We express our gratitude towards King’s Mate Chess Academy for the remarkable professionalism that they showcased while executing the chess tournament. Their remarkable passion and dedication towards chess and towards the curriculum has made this event overwhelmingly successful. We acknowledge the schools, parents and volunteers for their support towards the event, and thank them for their unwavering enthusiasm.


Looking Ahead

Given the turnout and the impact of the event, ELA Green School is excited to host more of such events where students learn through experience. As a top IB school in South India, our mission is clear – to inspire, empower and elevate students with a quality education and opportunities like never before.

From hopscotch on imaginary ponds to stories about the heroic battles against germs while washing hands, each moment was filled with imagination. Learning Beyond Boundaries At Ela, learning has no bounds—one minute you could be in a history lesson, and next thing you know, you are in a scene from an action-pack...
