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.”
Track Meet v. Brattleboro, Green Mountain, and Bellows Falls
Upon our arrival at the meet, we learned that we were participating in a four High School team meet. This meant that only our Sixth Formers were allowed to compete against everyone for points. After a few coaches meetings, it was decided to allow the underformers to have their own separate heats in their events for our time purposes only, and the results would not count in the meet. This meet was a great learning experience for the new members of the team. There are 37 members of the team this year, and 18 of those are new to the sport. Some of the day’s highlights were the following: Jin Woo Choi '09 won first place in the Long Jump with a jump of 17' 8.5" earning 6 points for Eaglebrook. Sean Lee '09 jumped 14' 5'' and Che Chengsupanimit '09 jumped 13' 6.5", both very respectable jumps. In the 10 meter dash Jin Woo Choi '09 won 5th place with a time of 12.3 seconds. Johnathan Flores '09 ran a 13.2, Sean Lee '09 ran a 12.9, and John Hotchkiss in his debut ran a 13.34. Kian Ivey ran a 2 minute 30 second 800 meter, and he was our solo Sixth Form 800 meter runner. Sean Lee '09 ran a 26.6 second 200 meter dash and earned 3rd place, DH Kim '09 ran a 31.7 and Hayden Arnot '09, in another debut performance ran a 32.7 in the 200 meter dash. Our 4 x 100 relay team, which was made up of Jonathan Flores '09, DH Kim '09, Sean Lee '09 and Jin Woo Choi '09 earned 2nd place.
