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 Varsity Lacrosse team suited up for their first game of the season against Avon Old Farms at home on Wednesday, April 11. The boys were excited to play someone new and came out of the gate with a lot of great energy and excitement. We were able to find the net 4 times by the end of the first quarter and controlled most aspects of the game as our defense took the ball away and fed the offensive half of the field. However, Avon managed to squeak one by us, as both teams played a sloppy back and forth transitional game in the second frame, and we got caught in an unsettled situation. The two teams went into halftime with the Eagles up 4-1. After regrouping at the half, the Eagles caught fire in the second half, moving the ball more confidently and controlling the game from the start of the third. We went on to score 7 unanswered goals before Avon scored their next one in the fourth quarter. Eventually we came away victorious, with a 12-2 triumph. This was truly a team victory as, many of our players had a hand in the W as we had multiple goal scorers, multiple assists, face off wins by four different players, big defensive plays, and a bunch of big saves by our goalies. We are looking forward to taking this momentum into our game Saturday against KUA.
