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.”
The annual Eaglebrook Field Trip Day was Monday, April 10. Each Form spends the day out of the classroom, sometimes far away from campus, learning and exploring.
The Sixth Form and the faculty members of the Eaglebrook Science Department spent the day at the New England Aquarium in Boston checking out the exhibits and then participating in a squid dissection lab. The group was also able to watch a IMAX video about the Galapagos Islands. See photos from their trip here.
Fifth Formers went to Boston also, but to the Museum of Fine Arts with the Eaglebrook Art Department. They broke into small groups and were given tours of the museum and its collections. See photos here.
The battlegrounds at Lexington and Concord were the destination of the Fourth Formers and their Colonial American History teachers. What they have been learning about in class was brought to life by spending time on the actual battlefields where the first skirmishes of the American Revolutionary War took place. See photos here.
Finally, the Third Formers and their teachers spent the day exploring far-flung areas of the Eaglebrook campus, doing some repelling and hiking, and finishing up the day at the Schwab Family Pool. Photos of that trip are here.
