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.”

This fall the campus community competed once again in the Inter-Dorm Green Cup Challenge. Across all of the dormitories, the amount of energy that was conserved over the span of the month was greater than their totals from last year. During this competition, students and faculty are encouraged to construct a plan with their housemasters in order to decrease the amount of energy that is used on a weekly basis. The Sustainability Dorm Liaisons worked well with their dorms to develop a plan for the other students on their halls. The competition was quite close throughout the month but a couple of dorms separated themselves from the rest of the pack. Mayer House, in 3rd Place, put in a valiant effort and found much of its success because of the Sixth Form leadership. The race at the top was very close but Kravis House edged out Flagler House by a slim margin to take the Fall 2016 Dorm Green Cup Challenge. I thank all of the dorms for their support and although the challenge is over, I encourage the students to continue to work to conserve as much energy as possible to help Eaglebrook’s goals of sustainability.
