From parents:

"My son attended the Splash program in Fall 2023. He was among like-minded peers who were hungry for knowledge and exploration. The students who ran the program were extremely knowledgeable, helpful, courteous, and friendly. The program ran with fantastic efficiency."

"Splash at Yale is a well-run program with engaged student teachers and an outstanding variety of class selections. This program and others like it have prioritized the single thing that is most important to motivated learners - knowledge! And they do it with great enthusiasm. Bravo!"

"YALE Splash was the first opportunity that my daughter had to intellectually explore topics that were of interest to her but outside her public school curriculum. She looks forward to the variety of workshops offered and I'm always amazed at what she chooses!"

"Yale Splash has enhanced my child's knowledge and created a love and passion for science. Splash has been an awesome way for my daughter to explore and dabble in different topics and see which she finds most interesting. Splash also gives a confidence level about exploring on a college campus."

"Simply stepping into the classroom ignited [our daughter's] autonomy. In just one class the teacher saw and fed her hunger to dig deeper on a subject she was curious about. The immersion and class content was so inspiring that my daughter continued her exploration at home and wrote an eleven page paper about the subject matter! Splash opened a door in her love of learning and acted as a great incentive to apply those tools to her middle school classes."

"Each one of my boys has taken a variety of classes over the years and the experience has been consistently positive. The instructors are dynamic and the topics are interesting."

"My middle school son loves going to Splash. He has been to three and is excited about what he has done every time he comes home. I love that he gets to be on campus, learn from and interact with Yale students, and meet other kids who share similar interests. Thank you for giving him this fabulous opportunity to explore topics and ideas he wouldn't otherwise know about."

"My daughter has attended Splash twice and enjoyed it so much the first time she brought a friend the second time! In the spring I'll be bringing a carload of 10th grade students to share the experience and they are all excited about it already!"

"My eldest has attended twice and it's been a terrific experience. She has had the opportunity to expand her interest areas, connect with a wide range of students and get a feel for a dynamic campus and university. I love how much the program emphasizes the kids' independence and keeps parents from hovering. It's an amazing program."
