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.”
Art Department Hosts Exhibition of Student Artwork
The Art Department hosted a Year-End Exhibition of student artwork during the final week of school. Eaglebrook has a diverse set of course offerings in the Visual Arts Department, that include Printmaking, Woodworking, Altered Clothing, Stained Glass, Stone Carving and many more. Over the course of the year, students created impressive visual art pieces, and the exhibition was a great way to showcase their work. The majority of the artwork shown was created during the spring trimester, however, there were a handful of pieces from the fall and winter trimesters. The opening reception and exhibition took place in the Chiang Atrium on Thursday, May 23 at 6:30 p.m. with live music performed by Ms. Emily Luker. The majority of the school community attended the opening reception including many families of day students. The show stayed up until after Baccalaureate. Over 100 students displayed artwork in the show. “Our students do incredible work and often it isn’t seen by the community. I wanted to give these student artists a stage to display their talents and celebrate their hard work” said Mrs. Fay, Art Department Chair.
