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 School hosted the Nick Whyte Invitational Swim Meet on Saturday, February 18. Teams from the Bement School, NMH, Deerfield Academy, and Kingswood Oxford School competed in the yearly event. The meet is run as a pentathalon, where each swimmer swims 50 yards of each stroke and then a 100 individual medley. The swimmer with the lowest overall time in the five events is the winner. The teams also competed in 3 relay events. Eaglebrook swept every individual event and the relays. This reflected the hard work that the Eaglebrook team put in this winter. The biggest meet of the year is coming up on Saturday. The Brookies will be competing in the Bud Erich Invitational meet at The Hopkins School in New Haven, Connecticut. More than 20 Varsity prep school teams will be competing. If the Eaglebrook team swims as they have all season the expectations of the coaches is a top three finish. It would be quite an achievement for the EBS team. The team is ready and very excited for the opportunity to compete this weekend.
