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 traveled to Pine Cobble for the second time this week to participate in their annual lacrosse tournament. In the round robin group stage, EBS lost tough games to Bement and Berkshire Country Day and narrowly defeated Pine Cobble. In an extended consolation game after lunch, EBS again defeated the hosts, finishing the tournament with a 2-2 record.
Billy Dejoux led the team in scoring for the day with 4 goals. Reese Winsor (3), Daighan Leblanc, and Patrick Welch also scored, though the highlight of the day was Michael Xu's first ever goal. Daighan should also be praised for tallying 4 assists and winning many face-offs.
Kai Appleton played three of the four goals in the net, making a total of 9 saves. Austin Silpa-Archa, Finn Robertson, and Yoon Ha Lee spent most of the day playing active defense. Porter Savage and Ivan Khramov played valuable minutes in defense and midfield, while Justin Wong and Dylan Kim contributed in the midfield and the attack. Though they didn't get on the score sheet, Justin Kang and Will Hazen were two of the most dangerous players on the field all day and contributed to many of the team's scoring opportunities.
Congratulations to Bement for winning the tournament championship by beating a tough BCD team in a well-played final. Also, thanks to Pine Cobble for organizing and hosting the event.
