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.

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.

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 Varsity baseball defeated Suffield Academy 4-3 on Thursday afternoon in extra innings. Eaglebrook went three-up, three-down in the first three innings, and fell in a 3-0 hole, but we stayed focused and didn't give up. In the top of the fourth inning, 10-hitter Bob Zhang, recently called up from JV due to Varsity injuries, lead off the inning with a hard-hit ball with two strikes on him that forced a Suffield error, advancing to second base on the overthrow. It proved to be the spark our offense needed. Kiernan Keller, Hans Forselius, Matt Como, and Jack Bradway each came up with huge line-drives and in a flash, the game was tied at 3. Both teams had opportunities to go ahead in the next three innings, including an attempted suicide squeeze by Hans Forselius late in the game, that went awry when the pitch landed in the dirt in front of the plate virtually unbuntable and was picked cleanly by the catcher. On defense, Tynan Creagh came in to close the game, striking out the final two batters in the sixth with two runners on, and then again closing the door in the seventh with the winning run on third base. In the 8th frame, Kiernan Keller reached on an error, and played aggressively on the basepaths, stealing second and third, and then scoring the eventual game-winner on a passed ball. Tynan was lights out in the bottom of the eight, striking out two more, and Eaglebrook came out victorious in one of the best team wins we have had in recent memory.
I really appreciate the time that is put into doing these game summaries. It lets us keep up with the team and gives us enough detail that it feels almost like we were watching live.
