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 Eagles made the trek to West Newton, MA on Friday to faceoff against the Fessenden School and Catholic Memorial. This was the last match for the Eagles this season, and then tournament time begins with the Eaglebrook Tournament next Saturday, 2/17, and the Fessenden Tournament, 2/24.
All fourteen of the Eagles got at least one match, seventeen matches in total, where the tri-meet had twenty-seven total matches. Against Catholic Memorial the Eagles had seven great matches. They were able to win five of the matches, three by pin. When facing Fessenden, their team did not match-up well with our team. We had ten matches against them, but were only able to win four of them, however, two of those wins were against wrestlers who placed last year at the Fessenden Tournament.
It was a great tune-up for all teams and now the Eagles turn their attention to the tournaments. Only twelve wrestlers will compete in these two events and the key for the team is to continue to wrestle hard and perfect their technique on what they have learned over the course of the season. Time for each Eagle to wrestler their best matches of the year moving forward. Go Eagles!
