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.”
“Never lose sight of who you are,” is one piece of advice given to the Eaglebrook School class of 2015 by the Commencement speaker Alex Taylor ’90 at the 93rd Commencement exercises on May 29, 2015. Alex is the executive vice president for Cox Enterprises, a leading communications, media, and automotive services company. In his speech, he remembered his time at Eaglebrook fondly, and he encouraged the boys to hold on to their experiences at the school and remember who they are now and carry that with them for the rest of the lives. “You are beautiful,” he told them. “You are beautiful kids, you are beautiful boys and you will be beautiful men and you will do amazing things in life.” Watch Alex’s entire speech here.
Isaiah Hernandez ’15 gave the speech to the class of 2015. He said to his classmates “Being at Eaglebrook is a unique experience that we are all truly blessed to have been offered, and our time here has taught us to take advantage of every opportunity we are given and to notice how lucky we have been.” Watch Isaiah’s full speech here, and Mr. Chase’s response here. Sekou Bolden ’15 gave a moving class prayer. Watch that here.
We will miss the class of 2015 and all that they brought to the school, but we wish them well. See photos from Commencement here.
