Why Choose Yale?

Thank you for visiting Yale Public Schools website and it is our sincere hope that you will make
our district your home or continue to entrust us with your child’s education. Whether you’ve
spent a few hours in Yale or lived here your whole life, you’ll find that there is something special about this community. As a district, our goal is to provide a caring, supportive, and challenging environment for students to explore their interests and prepare for success after graduation. We diligently work toward these goals with an incredibly dedicated staff, outstanding parents, and our supportive community that values education.

We are very proud to share that two of our elementary schools (Avoca and Farrell) have been
selected as National Blue Ribbon Schools by the U.S. Department of Education, our M-STEP
scores are at the top of St. Clair County, we have extensive technical and skilled trade offerings with industry certifications through TEC, competitive athletics, extensive music programs, robotics, and a spirit of innovation that drives us to continually improve. We also have full-service early childhood centers, a Great Start Readiness Program, and will be piloting a young 5’s program this year as well.

We encourage our students to explore, create, and innovate as they strive for excellence in all
that they do. Just as important as the programs that we offer is the attention our staff provides the students with academic, social, emotional, and other needs. Numerous interventions and support are available to students at each level of the district when you join our district, including a mentoring program for junior high and high school students called the PASS program.

Yale Public Schools is a great place to learn and grow. We believe that our students leave us
well equipped with the success skills, knowledge, and determination necessary to succeed.
Thank you for visiting our school and please contact us if you’d like to tour our outstanding
schools.
