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 JV 2 basketball team played Athol. We played well but we couldn't get out of the full-court press that Athol used so effectively. They were able to confuse us on the inbounds pass and even when we were successful with this we often committed a turnover on the next pass. Athol backed off on the press in the second half and we were able to gain ground. Daniel C. drained a couple of threes and was strong going to the hoop. He also played strong when we needed rebounds. Leo S. and Merideth B. were also instrumental in grabbing rebounds. Chris M. passed well and Peter L. and Jeff M. were reliable. Maclean D. reliably set up our players in the offensive zone to allow them room to score.
