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.”

Following Baccalaureate, students and faculty gathered on the Lewis Track Field to kick off Eaglebrook’s Annual Field Day; where students compete for their house. After hours of fierce competition, in running, shot put, juggling, and many more activities, Mayer House came out on top. See pictures from the day here, and a highlight video here.
Rounding out the day was the 90th run of the annual Good Fellow Ceremony. Yuri Tanaka ’23 was selected by his peers to be the Good Fellow. The Good Fellow is the Sixth Form student who is a friend to all and who embodies the mission of the school. To cap off this honor, Yuri was thrown into Whipple Pond by his friends, as were all of the Good Fellows before him. See the pictures here, and the video of the event here.
