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 Varsity squash has a successful match on Saturday, January 13 against Taft School’s JV team. Having traveled to Watertown to play them for the first time last season and losing 5-2, it was our turn to play host. The team played excellent matches against a group of athletic opponents. In the first round of matches, # 2 Spencer Kirby won 4-1, #4 John Pope won 3-0, #5 Rohan Edwards won 3-0 and #8 Tynan Creagh lost 3-2 though not without a good fight. Next, at #3 Burnham Johnson won 3-0, #6 Maury Escalona won 3-0 working through a back injury, and Theo Reginensi won 3-1. There were many long, well-played rallies, and the team demonstrated their ability to think quickly and make sound shot selections. We appreciate the Taft team for making the trip to Eaglebrook and for their sportsmanship. While we initially had our next match scheduled for Wednesday at Williston, that match will now be against Eaglebrook JV, and we look forward to hosting Pomfret on Saturday.
