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.”
In yet another “wow we forgot how fun the little things that we haven’t done in a long time are” experience, the JV2 squad took a yellow bus 10 minutes north to Greenfield Middle School. Playing beneath the famous Greenfield Poet’s Seat Tower, the Eagles quickly found themselves on the board in the opening seconds. Another few goals followed, and it was clear we were going to stay in the driver’s seat for the duration of the match.
Ever the sportsmen, the Eaglebrook team chose to give scoring opportunities to players that wouldn’t have them by mixing up their positions. The fellows also encouraged their opponents, many of whom were a few years younger than our average.
While this first victory (7-0) was nice, the true delight was watching the members begin to gel, as well as how kind they are to one another and those outside their team. With concussion testing on Monday, the JV2’ers won’t have much time to practice before our fourth game on Tuesday at Athol Middle School. Let’s keep the streak alive!
