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.”
Another tournament, another rainy day. This seems to be the way this year. However our spirits were high when we took to the fields for our 9 am game. Despite playing hard and well we were down by a score of 6 to 4 against Chapel Hill Chauncy Hall school. In the end we lost 11 to 4. Then the rain really set in for our second game. We were up against Williston’s team for the second time in four days. Once again we ended the first half down 6 to 4. But unlike in the previous game we kept scoring in the second half. Ultimately we lost again, this time by a score of 9 to 11. Despite these two losses I was quite pleased with our play. We moved the disc down the field well and had both teams backed up to 8s and 9s in the stall counts for many of their possessions. They beat us mostly due to their ability to catch the long huck in the end zone. This defeat put us in the 9th - 12th place bracket, and so for our third game we gave more playing time to the guys who didn’t get as much in the first two games. In this game we squared off against an opponent from the Amherst Invitational in The Cambridge School of Weston. I was pleased with the water cooler samba drummers raising the spirits on the sidelines. The singing that came in the second half was a bit less enjoyable but all in good fun. We lost that game by a score of 11 to 2. Of note in this game was that Andy Choi scored his first point of the season for us. By the fourth game all of our towels were soaked but our spirits not as much so. We played a long hucking game against Choate Rosemary Hall’s JV team and lost 11 to 4. Soaked to the bone we headed back to school.
I would like to thank all of the players who played with us this year. Each contributed in their own way and to the best of their abilities.
