Juniors and Seniors at the Chess Club (formerly known as simply The Chess Club) would have been the third studio album by American alternative/indie band Curriculum. The album was initially supposed to be released a mixtape in November 2013 and would have included the single "All Pink Everything" which was dubbed the project's lead single. However, the band's record label Blacklight Records withheld the mixtape and wanted to release it commercially. The former mixtape would have been released as an album after the band released their long-awaited sophomore album Sophomore.

The band admitted that some of the songs on the album were leftovers from their Sophomore album while other songs were those that they had been working on and recorded after Sophomore was released. The band stated that they nor their label knew when to release the album and that it "got on [their] nerves".

The band announced the album's release two weeks before its projected release date and planned moderate to minimal promotion for it.

A week before the album was supposed to be released, the band took it off the official release schedule. They later admitted that they deleted and burned the master tapes of the album, which was a move that infuriated their label.

On 21 July 2014, the band released the EP Flunking Out (later re-released as Remedial) in its place which were the tracks from the album that they decided to "save".

The album is the second cancelled release of the band's career after the cancellation of their EP Prerequisites.

The album is not to be confused with the band's upcoming third studio album Juniors and Seniors.
