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.”
After yesterday’s away match versus Choate Rosemary Hall was cancelled, the Eaglebrook Varsity Tennis squad was even more excited to get their season underway. Fueled up with Vermont Country Deli sandwiches (and a healthy dose of Led Zeppelin's "How the West was Won"), we journeyed 90 minutes north to Kimball Union Academy on a lovely New England afternoon. As we got off the bus, it was clearly in the low 30’s, but fortunately we got underway immediately and kept warm.
The three doubles pairings managed 8-0,8-0,8-2 victories (good for one point), and the doubles exhibition ended at 8-3. The Brookies earned another six points in the singles matches, dropping only seven games out of 79 games. It was a nice start, and a friendly round of gentlemanly play all around. Back on the bus for some Aretha Franklin "Live at Fillmore West" and then on the road next Friday to nearby rival NHM. So far, so good!
