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

Kindergarteners (Regular Ed Students):
Students must have a physical per Connecticut state law to begin school
Kindergarteners and families use the back door to drop off/pick up students
Kindergarten drop off is 7:45 - 8 and pick up is 2-2:10 by a designated adult. Please be timely.
Bus Students will have a tag that must stay on his/her bookbag, and will be tagged daily with a wristband.
East Rock is a peanut-free environment. If families send lunch, please do not include peanuts or peanut products.
On the first day of school, Teachers will greet students at the outdoor tables in the back playground beginning at 7:45a. and staff will confirm transportation at that time.
If your student will ride the bus that day, please let us know. Thank you for your partnership and attention to these details. We are excited for a great year.!
