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.”
We are always happy when Eaglebrook alums return to the Hill. Whether it is for a tour of campus and a catch-up with a former teacher or taking a job as part of the faculty or staff, the Eaglebrook community is lucky to benefit from the support of our alums. The four-week Summer Semester program, held in July each year, is a big attractor for younger alums who want experience in the teaching world. Young alums are able to join the team working at Summer Semester as interns who shadow experienced teachers and help run the program.
“One of the greatest strengths of the Summer Semester is the intern program,” says Brian Rose ’98, the director of Summer Semester. “Our interns are eager and dedicated young educators who aid the faculty while providing a safe environment for the students. Every year, I am amazed at the number of alumni who return to Eaglebrook to be a part of the intern program. Seven alums who attended Eaglebrook as students, and three alums from Summer Semester are working for the Summer Semester program this year. Having alums be a part of the program helps to seed culture and promote camaraderie. These folks are vital to the success of the Summer Semester,” Mr. Rose concludes.
