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.”
The Eaglebrook Water Polo team continued their season at Suffield on Saturday. Although they fell to an older more experienced squad by a 16-6 count the boys continued to make progress. Their counterattack and set team offense really started to show positive structure and increased ball control. As they start to eliminate turnovers resulting in counterattack opportunities for their opponents they will improve as individuals and as a team.
Anderson D. '23, Andy S. '22, Bodie L. '23, Ethan C. '23, Myles G. '23, and DD C. '23 all found the back of the net for the Brook, demonstrating a well-balanced team offense. Ben L. '24 and Silas M. '22 shared the net-minding duties with each making some impressive stops. Myles showed his speed by winning both periods starting swim offs that he tried! Lefthanders Yuri T. '23 and Lucas W. '22 did a great job leading the counter-attack by getting open for release passes from the goalies, while Kyan H. '23, Winnie W. '22, Lous H. '23, and Patrick Z. '22 put in great minutes with solid defense and swimming. Next up is a rematch with Suffield at home on Oct. 13
