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.”
27 Eaglebrook students participated in the fourth annual Model United Nations conference at Choate on Sunday, April 15. The general theme was protecting the environment, and the students were divided into several committees that debated more specific topics. Four students participated in the Framework Convention on Climate Change, in which they focused on greenhouse gas emissions; ten students participated in the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction Conference, in which they focused on prevention and relief strategies for natural disasters; and thirteen students participated in the General Assembly, in which they focused on the environmental impact of the geopolitical conflicts in the South China Sea. For many of the delegates, it was an enjoyable first MUN experience, while for the more experienced delegates it was a valuable opportunity to further develop their skills and compete against high schoolers. Many delegates performed impressively throughout the day. Kiernan Keller ’19 deserves special attention for being named as the "Outstanding Delegate" in his committee. A huge thanks goes to the Choate students who organized and managed the event. We look forward to returning next year.
