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.”
Eaglebrook’s Ad Libs, the Sixth Form a cappella group, had a once-in-their-lifetime opportunity to perform at Fenway Park on April 2, leaving their mark on one of the oldest and most iconic stadiums in the United States. The group sang the national anthem before the Boston Red Sox took on the Baltimore Orioles. See pictures of the event here.
Led by music teacher Mr. Benjamin Demerath, the group had been practicing for this performance for several weeks leading up to the event. The students were excited to showcase their talents on such a grand stage, and their hard work paid off as they delivered a beautiful rendition of the national anthem. Watch the recording here.
When asked for his perspective on the performance, Mr. Demerath said: “The students did a fabulous job at singing in one of the most challenging vocal environments. They did a beautiful job of singing with conviction. We’re so proud of them.” Hugh P. ’23 said, “We did so well, and we had so much fun!” “I think it was a really cool experience,” said Sean C. ’23.
“It was really fun, I loved getting to meet the mascots,” said Naomi B. ’23.
