What We Do

Mission

Our mission is to promote academic, athletic, and personal growth through a program of squash instruction, individual academic support/tutoring, health and fitness instruction, and community service.

Program Overview

Team members participate in Squash Haven activities three hours a day, three days a week throughout the school year. The squash program consists of oncourt practices at Yale in addition to team matches, tournaments, and fitness training.

The Squash Haven academic program focuses on individualized homework help, academic enrichment, and preparation for the Connecticut Mastery Tests. Academic sessions are staffed by Greenwood, Academic Director Jane Lewin, Academic Assistant Mariel Novas, and volunteers.

The Squash Haven community service program provides our students the opportunity to build community pride and involvement through a range of volunteer outings.  Each Squash Haven team member participates in ten hours of community service per year.

We are very excited about the opportunity to partner with Yale and committed New Haven public schools to jointly serve community youth.
