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.”
Eaglebrook hosted its Third Annual Science Fair earlier this month. The fair was held in the Chiang Atrium of the Evans Center with the Science Department faculty presiding as the judges. The fair was a great success. The final result was a combination of many months of work by the students involved, as well as a result of the leadership of Alex K. ’23 and Sean C. ’23.
Richard Z. ’23 took first place for his experimentation of the effectiveness of varied concentrations of enzyme solution used in plant fertilizers, cleaning detergents, and water treatment. In second place was Mardian K. ’23 with his demonstration of Boid Coding, the coding utilized to show the movement of many items at once. Mardian utilized this type of code to simulate the migration of bird and fish flocks.
When asked for his perspective on the event, participant Marcus L. ’23 said: “I thought [the science fair] went really well. The contestants were really enthusiastic and I learned a lot.”
“Witnessing these students deliver their insightful and thorough presentations to an audience of their friends and Science Faculty was an inspiration for me personally, and more importantly a testament to each student's dedication to curiosity and scientific exploration,” said judge and Dean of Students Mr. Fay.
