How PCC Works

• 5 levels: Pawn, Knight, Bishop, Rook, Queen
• 30 skills per level – students must master all skills to graduate to the next level
• Coaches track progress using our PCC skill charts
• Each class: 30 minutes of lesson + 30 minutes of testing on that day’s topic
• Families get the thoroughness of a private lesson with the price and social benefits of a small group

Start with an Assessment

The first step is a one-on-one assessment with a coach. In this 60-minute session, the coach will:

• Determine which PCC level (Pawn–Queen) is the best fit
• Identify which of the 30 skills in that level your child has already mastered
• Recommend the right class time and path forward
