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.”
Jason Wu '98, has received attention from around the world as the designer of Michelle Obama’s inaugural gown which will be donated to the Smithsonian Institute. He also designed a dress which Mrs. Obama wore for her interview with Barbara Walters. Jason was an avid art student while he was at Eaglebrook, and he also played the piano. French teacher Sally Laubin, who taught Jason, remembers him well. He made her a Japanese doll, and she had him sign it because, as she says, "I knew he was going to be famous someday."
