Why would you send a sixth-grade boy to boarding school? Shouldn't a ninth-grade student start high school? What is a junior boarding school? Make an appointment to visit us today and learn why Eaglebrook, a boarding and day school for boys in middle school, might be the right place for your son.
Eaglebrook School was founded in 1922 by Howard Gibbs as a private boarding and day school for boys in middle school. Learn about our school in Deerfield, Massachusetts then and now, and read about the Core Skills we think every boy should know.
At Eaglebrook, we recognize that all students learn in different ways, vary in their innate abilities, and come from a variety of educational backgrounds. Classes at Eaglebrook are organized to meet the needs of each boy.
Eaglebrook is a close community of middle school students, teachers, and their families. Activities outside of the academic classroom are important to the intellectual, social, physical, and emotional development of boys in middle school. Learn about the programs we offer at Eaglebrook, from athletics to arts.
At Eaglebrook, boys learn more than they ever thought possible, discover inner resources, develop self-confidence, and have fun along the way. Delivering on our mission is only possible through the incredible generosity of alumni, parents, parents of alumni, and friends.”
Eaglebrook students are given summer reading assignments at the end of each school year, so it follows that the Eaglebrook faculty should have their own assignment. This year, teachers were able to choose from two different books, It’s Complicated: the Social Lives of Networked Teens by Danah Boyd, and LGBT Youth in America’s Schools by Jason Cianciotto and Sean Cahill. Many of the teachers are hoping to read both titles before school begins in the fall. “We chose these books because they offer insights into the changing culture into which our students are growing. They will provide guidance and background to our faculty in supporting our students as they encounter some of these new challenges, both individually and as a society,” says Assistant Headmaster Paul Cyr-Mutty.
