I haven't used it,  but take a look at the Think Like a King System:

Frequently Asked Questions
About the Think Like A King® System
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How does our system work?
Pretty much any way you want it to!!

Want to find a way for kids to learn better chess, without the need to struggle
through printed chess books?

Get our Chess Workouts© interactive chess books-on-disk, and see how easy - and
fun - it can be for kids (or adults!) to learn chess. Kids who won't go near a
chess text love doing the Workouts© - without even realizing that they're
actually "reading" an entire chess book! Whether used by themselves in homes, or
as part of an entire system at school, the Chess Workouts© will be the most
engaging, and effective, chess teaching tools you've ever found!

Want to take all the work out of running your chess club, while making chess
even more exciting for your students?

Use Chess Club Manager© to organize and run your club.

Want to use the best teaching materials ever created for scholastic chess
programs?

Add one or more of the Chess Workouts© volumes and you'll have your own
interactive chess books for anyone to use on that computer.

Want a few more chess teaching stations at school?

Get a Satellite Teaching Package to equip a comprehensive chess workstation. On
a tight budget? Start with a copy of the School Player© for each additional
computer, plus any Chess Workouts© you want on that station, and build up from
there over time! Either way, anyone can sign in and use the Workouts on those
computers - whether they're enrolled in the Chess Club yet or not!

Want to fill an entire computer lab - or your whole school! - with the best
chess teaching tools?

Check out our Lab Packs and Site License, and install the Chess Workouts© on
computers throughout your school to expose everyone to chess!
