CHESS Research Guides
These guides are specially curated for CHESS students but can be useful for anyone looking for detailed information on a given subject. Each subject guide contains links to reputable, reliable online sources, as well as a list of physical books in the CHESS library that may supplement the topic.
Doing a research project, or just want to explore all kinds of information? Check out these incredible resources available to Ohio students! Click on each grade level to access the primary site for each, then search across all sources using the "iSearch" option, or visit individual sites for more specific inquiries and searches. I've listed my top picks for each level, but feel free to find what works best for you! (Some of the sites found in the main link for each grade require special access that we don't currently have. However, all of the "top picks," plus a few others not listed, are accessible without a login)
* Please note: While these are curated for grade-appropriate use and can be excellent research tools for students, CHESS Christian School does not endorse all of the views represented in these research sites, and we expect parents to use their own judgement in allowing student use of online research materials. *
