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.

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.”
We had another great game Saturday; this time versus Pomfret school. It took a while to get there, but the kids had fun traveling with each other. Pomfret has a great facility of 8 glass back wall courts with overhead viewing. We learned as we arrived that we were going to be playing their high school JV team and from the looks of the mixed uniforms they may have included a couple of varsity guys at the top. Our Boys got psyched and played fantastic against their very strong opponents. Despite our best effort, we suffered our first official loss 6-5. Pomfret took the top four spots, but continuing down the ladder we won 5 of the next 7. There were no epic 5 game matches, but every game played was full of long points, amazing determination, and smart shot-making. Our JV team is deep and improves every week. Our strongest attributes are our respectful sportsmanship, a positive and competitive attitude, and improved decision-making.
