At Hartland International School, we recognise that education extends far beyond the classroom. The recent success stories highlighted in The National—including the outstanding achievements at the Dubai Schools Chess Championships—demonstrate how extra-curricular pursuits, such as chess, play an essential role in nurturing well-rounded learners.
Chess is more than just a game. It cultivates critical thinking, resilience, patience, and strategic foresight—all qualities we strive to instil in our students. The competitive spirit and discipline exhibited by schools across Dubai serve as an inspiration, reinforcing the value of intellectual sports within our wider school community.
At Hartland, we actively integrate chess into our co-curricular programme, offering students the opportunity to sharpen their analytical skills, develop concentration, and engage in healthy competition. Our chess clubs and friendly tournaments foster an inclusive environment where students of all abilities can participate, learn, and grow.
We are proud to see the broader Dubai educational landscape celebrating such accomplishments in chess, and we wholeheartedly support initiatives that encourage young minds to embrace challenge and creativity. Inspired by these achievements, Hartland continues to promote strategic excellence, ensuring that our students are well-equipped for success both on and off the chessboard.
