About Orchids

Orchids is one of India's leading school networks with 100+ campuses across major cities and 75,000+ students . We combine strong academic rigor with arts, sports, and STEM. The Head of Chess role will architect a nationwide Chess+ program : using chess not just as a sport, but as a thinking literacy that boosts problem‑solving, metacognition, SEL, and joy across classrooms.

The Opportunity

We already run a weekly chess period (Grades 1–8) with 25+ boards per school , a wall demo board , Digi Boards , and Lichess for interested student tournaments. Your mandate is to upgrade this into a cohesive K‑8 program that:

  • Integrates chess with math, language, science and SEL .
  • Builds teacher capacity so regular classroom teachers can facilitate chess‑based thinking routines.
  • Uses data‑light, student‑friendly metrics to evidence impact.
  • Creates a vibrant culture through festivals, leagues, and community showcases.

What You'll Do (Key Responsibilities)

1) Strategy & Program Architecture

  • Define the Chess+ Vision & Roadmap (K‑8) with clear outcomes (tactical fluency, strategy, endgames, metacognition, executive function, communication, SEL).
  • Publish instructional standards and a scope & sequence (monthly themes; grade‑banded progressions).

2) Curriculum & Classroom Integration

  • Design plug‑and‑play lesson kits (Do‑Now puzzles, micro‑lessons, exit tickets) for weekly periods.
  • Create Cross‑Curricular Micro‑Kits (10–15 min) for Math/ELA/Science/CS/Art that teachers can drop into existing lessons.
  • Localize early‑years "Story Chess" resources for Grades 1–2 (literacy & numeracy foundations).

3) Teacher Development & Scale

  • Build a Teacher training pathway (foundational + ongoing) covering decision‑making, pattern recognition, dialogue protocols etc.
  • Run an academic implementation Team —regional master trainers who coach, demo, and quality‑assure.
  • Create explainer videos and a resource hub (lesson
