Common questions
What program would we be sharing?
You would be sharing Chess Foundations, our existing online after-school chess club. Students learn and practice chess while connecting with other children. Visit the after-school club page for program details and registration information.
Do we need to run our own chess classes?
No. Students join our existing online program from home. Your organization does not need to host a club on site or manage registration.
Is the commission a one-time payment?
No. Commissions recur while the referred student remains enrolled in Chess Foundations and tuition is collected. The standard commission is $40 per student per month, with proportional reductions when less than the normal referral-discounted monthly tuition is collected.
How are referrals tracked and commissions paid?
Families use your organization’s unique referral code when registering for Chess Foundations. The code identifies your organization’s referrals and gives students their $25/month discount. We’ll confirm the commission payment method and schedule with you during setup.
