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.”
There are few days more meaningful on our calendar than Grandparents’ Day—a time to celebrate the connections between generations and to share the spirit and daily life of our school community with those who helped shape it.
On April 25, we welcomed grandparents and special friends into the heart of Eaglebrook. The morning began with a beautiful performance by our Band in a full assembly, where music brought together students, faculty, and families.
Throughout the day, guests joined students in classrooms and studios—exploring woodshop and ceramics projects, observing science experiments, mingling outside with the analog photography class, and even witnessing rockets take flight. Between classes, you could also find students fishing at the pond—a favorite way to relax on campus.
In the afternoon, most gathered to cheer on our athletes at home games, closing the day with connection and lasting memories.
Thank you to all the grandparents and families who made this day so special. Your presence means so much to our students and to our school.
