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.”
Three Eaglebrook Underformers attended the 2022 Greater Boston Model UN Conference (GBMUN) hosted by Suffolk University on October 1st. Over 100 students from 20 middle and high schools participated in the event. This year’s conference was no-prep, meaning that students only found out about their country assignments on the morning of the event, having no time to prepare ahead. Eaglebrook students were assigned to be delegates for South Sudan (Ryan C. ’24), Thailand (Allan B. ’25), and the United States (Allan G. ’24). The topic of this year’s conference was “Finding Durable Solutions for Refugees”. GBMUN is participating in the MUN Refugee Challenge, an initiative launched by the United Nations High Commission (UNHCR) for Refugees, the UN Refugee Agency, to encourage students worldwide to shape solutions for people forced to flee their homes. During the committee sessions, many resolutions were written to promote resettlement, local integration, and access to basic rights like health care, education, and safety programs for refugees. After the closing ceremonies, the students had the opportunity to walk through the Freedom Trail, Faneuil Hall, and Quincy Market.
