Interested in getting the classes into your school? 

4th grade and older:

ACBL provides the textbook and a T-shirt to each student.  At the end of the 8 lessons we have a small tournament in the class and the top student gets a trophy.

ACBL pays the bridge teacher a small stipend to help compensate for the time.  So the class is free to the students!  I'd love to start a class in your school if you have at least 8 students in the class.  If you are in the greater Kansas City Metropolitan Area, I can probably fit you in to my schedule.

The classes are great as part of a math class or a gifted class.  They would work wonderfully in an after school program as well.  The classes are taught using the Audrey Grant Club series, which is a series of 8 two hour lessons.  It works best as 2 hour lessons, but we can modify it to work as 16 one hour lessons as well.  If you don't live near me, contact ACBL to see if there is a teacher available in your area.

Home Schoolers: The above type beginning bridge class will be offered this fall at the Gamber Center in Lee's Summit. You need to contact the Gamber center at 816-969-1500 to sign up, there is a small fee to cover their costs, but you still get me, the t-shirts, and the books for free! Classes will be Mon. and Wed. from Nov. 15 through Dec. 13 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.

1st grade through 6th grade:

ACBL provides a t-shirt to the students and pays the bridge teacher a small stipend to teach 8 one hour classes. These classes are designed to get the students playing right away, without needing to learn how to bid first. They are a lot of fun and help the kids develop playing skills before the more math and logic oriented bidding skills are developed. These mini-bridge classes require 12 students minimum to a class. These are ideal for before or after school daycare or gifted and talented classes.
