Lichess for Schools is the classroom management feature built into the Lichess platform. Teachers can create a class, generate a join link for students, and then view all their students' activity on Lichess from a single dashboard — games played, puzzles solved, study time, and progress metrics.

From the class interface, teachers can create tournaments limited to class members, assign specific studies or puzzle sets, and broadcast student games for group review. Because Lichess itself is free with no premium tier, there are no costs to schools or families, and students get full access to the entire Lichess platform.

Lichess for Schools requires no special account type — any Lichess user can create a class. It is used by thousands of school chess clubs and scholastic programs worldwide as a free alternative to paid scholastic chess platforms.
