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.”
Playing two matches back-to-back is tough enough as it is, but when those two matches are against undefeated Phillips Andover and local rival Deerfield Academy, the day took on new meaning. Every muscle was going to be tested to the limit, along with every drive, drop shot and boast. We left campus at 12.30 p.m. and returned in time for dinner at 6 p.m. That tells you how long we were at play. At the end of the day, the Eagles could stand proud having defeated Phillips Andover 4-3 for the first time ever and despite being exhausted, worked our way to a 5-2 triumph over Deerfield. Everyone contributed in one match or the other and supported each other through thick and thin. This collection of young men, displayed heart, courage, skill and true team spirit this afternoon and I could not have been prouder of each and every one of them.
