Chess school software for level groups and in-person classes
Chess school software is the program a chess school uses to enroll students, sort them into level groups, plan coach hours, take attendance and collect payments. Jamaster LMS gives every level its own group, from children learning how the pieces move to a tournament squad chasing a rating, and shows capacity such as 8/12 against the boards you have. Classes run in person, and the calendar, attendance and payments share one system.
The single-branch Mini plan is $49 a month, and the Pro plan for multi-branch institutions is $89 per branch per month (billed yearly), and you can try it with a 10-day free demo account.
Where chess schools lose their structure
Mismatched players at the same board
Put a child who is still learning how the knight moves next to a player studying openings, and both get bored. Define levels such as beginner, intermediate and tournament prep, and place each newcomer after a short level check.
Extra sessions before rated events
Ahead of rated tournaments, students chasing a FIDE rating ask for more practice and the group timetable fills up. Run the tournament prep group as its own course with its own lesson pattern and price.
Enrollment that follows the school year
Sign-ups peak when schools open, and some groups empty out over the summer. Set autumn and spring up as separate terms, and the term enrollments report shows how many students each one brought in.
What a chess school gets from Jamaster LMS
Chess groups by level
Open beginner, intermediate, advanced and tournament prep groups with a coach, room and weekly pattern, and see at once how full each small group is.
Level checks for prospects
Log interested families as prospective students and put the level check on the calendar as a meeting.
Coach hours
Assign coaches to after-school and weekend groups, and follow each coach's weekly teaching load and salary.
QR attendance at the board

Take the term fee up front or in monthly installments, with partial payments and the remaining balance on one screen.

Frequently asked questions
What does chess school software do?
Chess school software records who is enrolled, which level group each student plays in, when coaches teach, who attended and what has been paid. Jamaster LMS needs only a browser, and a school teaching at more than one address adds each as a branch.
How should chess students be grouped by level?
You define levels to suit your own program and open a group for each, for example an unrated beginners group and a tournament prep group. As a student improves, they move into the next level's group.
Can coaches who teach chess in several schools use it?
Yes, each school or center can be set up as a branch with its own groups. Because permissions follow branch and role, a coach can be limited to the branches they teach.
What does chess school software cost per month?
The single-branch Mini plan is $49 a month, and the Pro plan for multi-branch institutions is $89 per branch per month (billed yearly). SMS packages are bought separately. Try your level groups in the free 10-day demo to see how it fits.
