Faculty & Staff Directory

Sol presently serves as Science Department Chair and teaches Sixth Form Biology and Honors Biology. In his 14th year here at Eaglebrook, his schedule remains quite full with teaching, and coaching mountain biking and the Varsity Basketball team. He also shares his interests in fly-fishing and bow shooting with students, through his role in the Outdoor Program.

Sol lived in Mayer House, where he served as Dorm Head. He currently lives in an on-campus house with his wife Christa and his children, Peter '23 and Beatrice and is an advisor in Kravis House. When away from school, Sol and his family spend summers at their lake home in Vermont, where he enjoys outdoor activities and water sports with his family and friends. He also keeps himself very busy helping others out with their carpentry projects.

Since joining the faculty in 1999, Mr. Landenberger has taught Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry. Before coming to Eaglebrook he taught at Holy Name Junior Senior High School in Worcester, MA.

Prior to his teaching career, Bart was a professional performer. That is where he developed his love for juggling and slapstick comedy. His performing days took him to France, England, Japan, and Florida. The students in Bart’s Juggling elective are appreciative of his willingness to continue sharing his talents.

Bart now lives off campus in South Deerfield after being a dorm parent and advisor, most recently in Flagler, for fourteen years. He is still associated with Flagler as a fifth advisor. He and his wife Jennie have two college-aged children whom he loves dearly. Their two dogs, who both flunked out of obedience school, happily round out the family. Bart shares that he still has ten-foot stilts from his earlier performing days, but he is wise enough not to walk on them anymore.

After seventeen years as a Mathematics Department faculty member, Shappy is now one of the lead teachers for the Third Form, with her main subject areas being math and science. She is also an Assistant Head, Dean of School Life. She also coaches the Ski Patrol in winter, modeling alert attention, and the importance of an observant state of mind on the ski hill and assists the Outdoor Program in the spring. 

Though much of Shappy’s day is spent with the Third Formers, she makes time for her other responsibilities that serve the entire student body. Her role as a coordinator of the weekend activity lets her apply her master organizing skills. If a faculty member has an idea for a special off-campus trip or on-campus activity, Shappy is the one to check in with.

After living raising her three kids in the dormitories, Shappy and her husband call Shelburne, MA home. The land on which their home sits lends itself to raising various animals while making for a happy playground for their dog. Shappy spends her summers in Maine and during breaks from school she enjoys spending time outdoors with family and friends.

 

Since becoming an Eaglebrook faculty member in the fall of 2014, Nicole has taught Fifth Form Algebra and Fifth and Sixth Form English classes. She also occasionally offers two popular electives, Sports Shorts and Problem Solving. Nicole and her husband Lucas are advisors and live on campus in their home by the tennis courts. They have two children, Ülla and Fischer, two dogs, Tucker and Rocket, a cat, Johnny-No-Home, and nine chickens (whose names are too many to list).

Outside of Eaglebrook Nicole likes to spend time with family and friends. She also enjoys reading, knitting, and quilting. But, Nicole’s favorite thing to do is head out for a long-distance run.

Nick now serves as the Dean of Faculty after several years as Director of Studies. He also teaches history and coaches soccer. Nick is joined at Eaglebrook by his wife, Ana, who teaches French. Their two daughters have lived on campus for their entire lives. In addition to Eaglebrook, Nick has worked at secondary schools in Portugal and Texas. In the summers, Nick works at Camp Timanous, a traditional boys' camp in Maine that many Eaglebrook students and faculty have attended. He earned his Bachelor's degree from the University of Miami, his Master's degree from UMass-Amherst, and his Doctorate from Northeastern University.

Yuan-Hsiu began teaching Chinese at Eaglebrook in 2006 and continues to live on campus with her husband, daughter, and dog. She loves to travel and aside from her annual trip to China as an Eaglebrook ambassador, Yuan-Hsiu tries to squeeze in trips here and there during school breaks.
