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.”
On Sunday, September 19, 23 enthusiastic students, Mr. Page and Ms. Chaput enjoyed an afternoon roaming through Mike’s Corn Maze in Sunderland, MA. The maze is always a favorite trip at the start of the year and we are grateful that we were once again able to leave campus for some New England-style fun. The theme for this year’s maze was “Imagine”. If interested, you can view this year’s and past mazes: https://mikesmaze.com/portfolio-tag/mazes/. I am sure you will find them to be quite impressive!
After enjoying a walk through the maze, map in hand, the students participated in many of the other activities sponsored by Warner Farm. There were lots of smiles and laughter coming from the oversized bouncing pad, the rubber duck racing, the large slide, the pedal cars, and the food stand. The most popular activity, however, as it remains most years, was the Potato Blaster. Two of the boys even hit the “free donut” target, leaving them to enjoy a special treat near the end of the day. Rumor has it that the apple cider slushie was both refreshing and delicious also.
All in all, we appreciated the beautiful weather that accompanied us on our trip, and a good time was surely had by all.
