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.”
Ayr Muir '93 left McKinsey to toast frozen burgers at Burger King and warm frozen soup at Panera with visions of the future of (a never-frozen) Clover. Before Clover Ayr worked at McKinsey and Company (‘04-08) advising the CEOs and CMOs of the world’s top consumer and retail companies. Prior to that he worked at Patagonia (’04) in marketing.
Clover is currently the most successful food truck operator in the country with the largest fleet in operation (7) and the highest sales volume per truck. Clover is currently moving to brick and mortar operations with a restaurant in Harvard Square, another in East Cambridge, and 3 more restaurants opening in the Boston area in 2013. Ayr hopes this is just the beginning. He is working to build food systems that could change the way Americans eat and have a direct impact on the obesity epidemic, local food systems, and environmental issues of the livestock industry.
Ayr holds an MBA from HBS (’04), a Bachelor of Science, and Master of Science from MIT (’00, ’01). When he's not working a truck or in the kitchen with a knife in his hand he's hanging out with his wife Brooke and children Clementine, 7, Blue, 4 and Violet, 2. Read more about Ayr here.
