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.”
Spencer Villani ‘18 Visits Science of Cooking Elective
Michaelann Denton, Assistant Director of Admissions had a guest in her "Science of Cooking" elective on May 15. Spencer Villani '18 joined the group via Zoom and treated the class to a live cooking session of his fluffy cinnamon and sugar pancakes that are featured on his blog Taste Good Looks Good. During the class, students had the opportunity to ask Spencer questions about his history with cooking, how he makes his videos, and his favorite dishes to eat and make. In addition to learning more about Spencer, students learned tips and tricks on how to create their best recipe video.
“I learned about Spencer and his blog through Betsy Worcester, Eaglebrook’s Alumni Engagement Officer. She knows Spencer well and played a key role in our introduction which made this all possible” said Ms. Denton.
