Have a wonderful afternoon, and let me know if you need to make any changes to your child's pickup routine today!

What is Yale Splash?
Splash at Yale is an event that brings high school and middle school students to Yale University for one day of unlimited learning. Students who come take classes in a variety of both conventional and unconventional subjects taught by Yale undergraduate and graduate students!

The goal is to build excitement for teaching and learning. Yale offers a plethora of classes with fascinating content, empowering students to satisfy their curiosities, think critically, and cultivate new passions.

This Spring, Splash will be on Saturday, February 28th, from 10 AM to 3:30 PM and I would like to invite your students to join us! Registration is now open. Splash is $25 for the day, with an option for a $10 T-shirt. Financial Aid is available to all students who need it.

We are offering FREE registration to students in the New Haven Public School (NHPS) system. To qualify, the student must indicate that they are a NHPS student within the Financial Aid Request section found in the registration portal.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could pass the following message along to your students, parents, and teachers! We look forward to seeing your students on Yale’s campus this Spring.

Thank you for your consideration,
David Roche
Splash Director
