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 entire Eaglebrook student body, along with most of the faculty, spent the day hiking up Mt. Monadnock in Jaffrey, New Hampshire for the school’s annual Mountain Day on October 5. Students in the Sixth Form climb up a different trail than the rest of the school, making the day a bit special for them. Everyone meets at the top to take in the view (you could see the Boston skyline it was so clear) and enjoy a bag lunch provided by the Eaglebrook kitchen. The Sixth Form takes a group photo, and then the hike down begins. See a quick video of students hiking down the mountain, which can often be more challenging than hiking up, here.
Mountain Day is a great fall tradition at Eaglebrook. Students get outside, hike a tall mountain, and take in the beauty of a New England fall. See photos from the day here.
