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.”
Global Day will be held on May 6, 2021, the focus for this year is on Climate Change. Peter Mckillop '73, the founder and editor of climate and capital media will be setting the stage for the day. The Third Form will be constructing birdhouses, doing a climate change scavenger hunt, and enjoying the beautiful Eaglebrook landscape. The Fourth Form and Fifth Form will sign up for several activities such as a climate change scavenger hunt, developing a trail of poetry, cooking a sustainable lunch, and much more. In the afternoon the Fourth Form will participate in a clean our waterways design challenge. Additionally, they will be testing and sampling the Deerfield River. The Sixth Form will do a river cleanup and then go whitewater rafting. The Deerfield River is important both in the past and present to our community and will be central in the Global day themes for these two forms. The Fifth Form will participate in a leadership training program, as they will be moving into leadership positions on campus next year. Caring for the environment is something that Eaglebrook students have practiced all year having several energy and water-saving contests by dorm with the most sustainable dorm receiving a dress down day. Global Day has been important in that tradition.
Day Students should arrive on campus by 8:45 a.m. and pickup for all Day Students will be from 4:30-5:15 p.m.
