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 Third Form Connects with Author Caroline Lawrence
by Ruth Koenigsbauer, Third Form English teacher
During March break, Eaglebrook’s Third Form students read Caroline Lawrence’s Roman Mystery novels one through ten. As many Third Form students take Latin for their language, the book is tied into the lessons learned in their Latin class, the history they’ve learned while studying the Greek Gods in history class, and their reading comprehension skills from English class.
Upon returning from the break, students met Caroline Lawrence over Zoom for an exciting talk on “The Mysteries of Ancient Rome.” The Third Formers were captivated by Ms. Lawrences’s pictures, stories, and background knowledge of the First Century AD. She shared her sponge on a stick, along with many stories about its uses, and brought full closure to the unit tied to the Roman Mystery books.
