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 Tuesday December 11, the Eaglebrook School Varsity Hockey team traveled two hours to play the Salisbury School Crimson Knights. Just before the start of the game, former Eaglebrook School Captain Michael McCann ‘07 (now playing on the Salisbury Varsity Team with former Eaglebrook Captain Shawn Manning ’05) stopped by the locker room to give our team some advice and wish us good luck. The game started out tight but then late in the first period, Salisbury took the lead by scoring to make it 1-0. A few minutes later they scored again to broaden the lead to 2-0. In the second period we scored the momentum shifted back to Eaglebrook and the score became 2-1. With two minutes left in the second period, Salisbury answered back by scoring to increase their lead to 3-1. The team was ready to score some goals at the beginning of the third period, and they were feeling the intensity. Eaglebrook scored a big goal bringing them closer to tying the game up. Then going on the power play with a minute left to play in regulation, Eaglebrook called a timeout to plan their attack. With our goaltender pulled for the extra skater and a six on four player advantage, things would not work out as the clock expired, ending the game with a 3-2 victory for Salisbury. This Saturday, at our McFadden Rink at Alfond Arena Eaglebrook School plays host to the Catholic Memorial Knights at 4:00 PM.
