Clubs and other activities are a major contributor to the overall quality of the Chelsea School culture. Clubs are led by faculty advisors and usually meet once a week. Every year new clubs are added to reflect the varied interests of our student body.

Chess Club
Chess – A Millennia-old game that still ranks among the best known and most popular games worldwide.  Chess is a great way to have fun and build friendships while developing mental skills that are useful in school.  The Chelsea School Chess Club is open to everyone from complete beginner to regular tournament player.  The club offers regular lessons for all levels.  If all you desire is a friendly game without a chess lesson that’s also available.  In addition to regular meetings and frequent games during and outside of the meetings, the Chess Club will also take advantage of the many opportunities around Washington, DC.  These include the many tournaments for both competitors and observers.

Literary Magazine
“My Turn: Unscripted” is a literary magazine produced by Chelsea School students bi-annually. Poems, short stories, essays, and original artwork comprise the literary magazine. Working with the English department, a team of student editors helps to select, edit, and design each publication.

 

Photography Club
In Photography Club, students are given an opportunity to develop composition and lighting skills for creative, expressive, and documentary photography.

Chelsea Music Club
A music group intended to give our students an outlet for their musical interests. The songs we sing reflect the student's diverse interests in various styles including rock, hip-hop, alternative, pop, go-go, metal, punk, etc. Our talented students play instruments such as guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, piano, and various percussion instruments.

A few members of Chelsea's staff recently wrote and recorded a rockin' school anthem, which they also performed for the students. Click here to listen (Mp3 format)!
