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 sponsored Spirit Week this past week. The Student Council members decided on a few different themes for the Fall 2019 Spirit Week. Monday was Advisee Day, where each advisee group had a theme. Tuesday was Twin Day, where students dressed to match with a friend or a group of friends. Wednesday was Pink Day, where everyone dressed in various shades of pink. On Thursday, students wore their Halloween costumes. Similar to last year, the most popular costume was animal onesies. On Friday, the theme was Dress Down Day. Everyone was asked by the Community Outreach Committee to donate $1 in order to dress down. The donations went to Rays of Hope, Adopt a Family of Franklin Country, and Books Between Bars.
Spirit Week is a great opportunity for the school community to show their school spirit and enlighten the community before the last few weeks of the trimester. Student Council President Ryan McHugh said, “Spirit week this year was a great success. It is a great way to step away from the classroom dress and show some school pride because the most important part of boarding school for most of us is having a strong sense of school pride. With everyone involved, faculty, students, and the administration, it was a great week.”
Eaglebrook’s next Spirit Week will be in February 2020. See all photos from Spirit Week on the Media Gallery, www.eaglebrook.org/MediaGallery.
