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.”
Hunger is a growing problem in the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts. Students and faculty at Eaglebrook recently participated in a local food drive, sponsored by the First Church of Deerfield. Boxes were placed in the lobby of the Learning Center and up in the Lodge, and they were filled with non-perishable goods. Eaglebrook Student Council members and other students helped to transport the food to vehicles headed to the food pantry. Many other area independent schools participated in this drive, and all food donated went to the Orange Food Pantry in nearby Orange, Massachusetts. It was wonderful to be able to take part in an effort that will directly benefit friends and neighbors of Eaglebrook School during this holiday time.
