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.”
Yesterday the Eaglebrook Varsity Tennis team headed an hour south to the beautiful town of Suffield, Connecticut to play Suffield Academy. The weather was perfect, complemented by the frequent airliners flying overhead as they approached Bradley Field.
Each match was an abbreviated format, with eight-game pro-sets and no ad. The Brookies capitalized and quickly came out of the gates with three doubles victories. The following six singles matches were closer, with many nail-biting points versus the older opponents. However, the team prevailed and went home with seven points and a victory. Many thanks to our hosts from Suffield, as they battled heartily with grace and sportsmanship.
Spirits were high as we returned north, refueling at Chipotle along the way. Wish us luck tomorrow as we host Fessenden, always an exciting and competitive day of play!
