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.”
The Eaglebrook Student Council sponsors Spirit Week twice a year. The Student Council members decided on a few different themes for the Fall 2018 Spirit Week. Monday was Pink Day, where everyone dressed in various shades of pink. Tuesday was Twin Day, where students dressed similarly to a friend. On Wednesday, students wore their Halloween costumes. The most popular costume this year was a unicorn onesie. Thursday was Advisee Day, where each advisee group had a theme. On Friday, the theme was Dress Down Day. Everyone was asked to donate $1 to be split between two charities. This year the charities were Souls4Soulsand Brown Bag Brigade. Spirit Week is a great opportunity for students and faculty to show their school spirit and enlighten the community before the last few weeks of the semester. Student Council President Archie Baldocchi said, “Spirit Week was a great success.” He goes on to say, “I had a lot of fun and loved the student and faculty cooperation. Everyone seemed to be having a great time.” Eaglebrook’s next Spirit Week will be in February 2019. See all photos from Spirit Week on the Media Gallery, www.eaglebrook.org/MediaGallery.
