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 76th Eaglebrook School Country Fair began Saturday morning. The weather was not cooperative, bringing rain to Deerfield, so fair and auction were held in the Alfond Arena. The rainy conditions did not stop families from enjoying the concessions. See photos from the morning here and a video here.
Luckily the skies cleared in the afternoon for a great afternoon on the athletic fields as five of our teams were in action. Country Fair is a wonderful tradition that brings students, families, faculty, and staff together for a weekend of education and fun. Thank you for coming to visit, see you soon!
