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.”
The Development Tennis team celebrated the last day of April by driving through the Quabbin Territory and the Harvard Forest. We witnessed the beginnings of spring, with a hillside of blooming rhododendron and a Great Blue Heron flying above. The forest was suffering from the dramatic effects of the white pine weevil. Happily a dense and magical under growth of smaller white pine trees are making their way up as the canopy allows the light through.
The Eaglebrook School Development Tennis team did exceptionally well at the match against Eagle Hill School, winning 8 out of 9 of the matches. Brian Catano held his own against their 4th ranked JV player. Steven Arnold won both of his singles matches. Andrew Allen, Soo Keun Ra, Alex Porter, Robert George, and Cullen LaPointe also won their singles matches. Our doubles teams, Brian Catano and Andrew Allen, and Alex Porter and Soo Keun Ra were also victorious. Our team showed great sportsmanship and camaraderie, traits that we appreciate in our team members.
