Our Commitment

Our Promise to Parents

We are committed to your child's learning journey — and to giving you complete peace of mind.

6-Month Money-Back Guarantee

We believe in our teaching philosophy, and we stand behind it. Give your child six months to experience our unique approach to learning through chess, puzzles, stories and meaningful discussions. If, after six months of regular participation, you feel that your child has not made satisfactory progress in their learning journey, you can request a full refund of the tuition fees paid for the eligible six-month period. No complicated questions. No unnecessary hurdles. Your child's learning and your satisfaction matter to us.

Eligibility and refund conditions are explained in our Learning Satisfaction Guarantee Policy.

Flexible Pause Policy

Examinations, family holidays, illness and other unavoidable commitments are part of every child's life. Simply inform us if your child needs a break. We will pause the subscription and extend its validity for the scheduled classes missed during the approved pause period. Your child's learning journey will resume when they are back, without losing the benefit of the missed classes.

Please inform us about planned breaks in advance wherever possible. Approved pauses are accounted for when calculating the six-month guarantee period.

Weekend Learning Batches

Our academy currently conducts classes exclusively on weekends, allowing children to balance their school commitments, other activities and personal time. Batch timings and availability are shared during enquiry and confirmed at the time of enrolment.

Regular Progress Updates

Every child learns at their own pace. We believe parents should be part of that learning journey. We provide regular feedback on your child's participation, learning progress, strengths and areas that need more attention. Through meaningful interactions and periodic progress updates, we help parents understand how their child is growing in both thinking skills and values.

MIND progress may include chess concepts, puzzle-solving, planning and logical reasoning. MORAL progress may include understanding stories, identifying values and relating lessons to everyday situations.

Why It Works

More Than Just Learning

Every activity at Mind & Moral Academy is chosen because it develops real, lasting skills in your child.

MINDChess & Puzzles Benefits

Improved Concentration

Chess demands sustained focus, training children to stay attentive for longer periods.

Stronger Memory

Remembering positions and patterns builds both short-term and long-term memory.

Logical Reasoning

Every move requires cause-and-effect thinking that transfers to maths and science.

Planning Ahead

Children learn to think multiple steps forward, a skill valuable in all areas of life.

Emotional Regulation

Handling wins and losses gracefully builds resilience and emotional maturity.

Academic Confidence

The discipline and focus developed through chess may support school performance.

MORALIndian Stories & Values Education

Honesty & Integrity

Stories from the Ramayana and Panchatantra teach children the importance of truthfulness and keeping their word.

Courage & Resilience

Tales of Hanuman, Arjuna and Jataka heroes inspire children to face challenges with confidence.

Respect & Gratitude

Stories of devotion and reverence model the values of respect for elders, teachers and others.

Compassion & Kindness

Characters from the Mahabharata and Jataka Tales teach children to be caring and considerate.

Duty & Responsibility

The concept of dharma helps children understand their responsibilities to family and society.

Thoughtful Decision-Making

Discussions around story choices help children think through consequences and make better decisions.

Our approach: We bring these values to life through storytelling, discussion, art and role-play — not lectures. Children internalise values when they experience them through stories they love.

Working Memory & Executive Function

Chess classes and executive function skills in 5–6 years old children: evidence from cross-sectional study

Frontiers in Psychology

A study involving 88 children aged 5–6 compared children attending chess classes with those who did not. Children in the chess group achieved higher scores on certain visuospatial working-memory measures. The findings highlight a potential connection between early chess learning and visual-spatial memory skills.

Note: This was a cross-sectional study, so it identifies an association rather than proving that chess caused the difference.

Academic Skills & Cognitive Development

Do the benefits of chess instruction transfer to academic and cognitive skills? A meta-analysis

Educational Research Review (Elsevier / ScienceDirect)

This meta-analysis examined 24 studies involving 2,788 participants in chess groups and 2,433 in control groups. It reported a modest positive overall effect associated with chess instruction, with a stronger average effect for mathematics than reading. The findings suggest that structured chess learning may support skills useful beyond the chessboard.

Note: The authors highlighted methodological limitations in the underlying studies. The findings should be interpreted as encouraging evidence rather than proof of guaranteed academic improvement.

Planning & Cognitive Flexibility

A study of the influence of chess on the Executive Functions in school-aged children

Studies in Psychology (SAGE Publications)

This research examined two important executive functions: planning and cognitive flexibility. Researchers compared children who played chess with children who did not. Chess-playing children demonstrated better performance on the planning assessment, with some differences in cognitive flexibility also favouring the chess-playing group.

Note: The study compared chess-playing and non-chess-playing children; it does not establish that chess alone caused these differences.
