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.”
On an overcast and cool day, the Brookies headed to West Hartford to play the Wyverns at Kingswood Oxford (K.O.). The order of play was reversed and seven singles matches took to the courts to begin their 8-game pro set. Eaglebrook's number one singles was the first to earn the Brookies a point by posting an 8-0 win. This was followed by Eaglebrook's number two singles with a similar score. The remaining five Eaglebrook players were also happy to walk away with a win under their belts from their singles match.
With open courts and available players, three doubles matches were instructed to begin play. They concluded with all Eaglebrook teams victorious. Both the Brookies and Wyverns displayed great sportsmanship and effort.
The Brookies left proud having added their fifth win to their streak. They continue to challenge each other on their home courts and are looking forward to training hard to prepare for three matches next week: Dublin School, Suffield Academy and Fessenden School.
