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.”
On Saturday the Varsity team made the long trek up to Cardigan Mountain School. Despite being short handed, the boys were fired up for the challenge. Cardigan came out aggressively and quickly jumped out to a lead. The Ealges stuck with it, knowing the working through Cardigans runs would be necessary for us to make it a competitive game. Each time the Cougars opened up a sizable lead, the team battled back. For the majority of the first half the Cardigan's lead hovered right around six point. A few costly turnovers allowed Cardigan to get some breathing room and the lead halftime deficit for Eaglebrook was 11 points. The Eagles continued to battle hard on the boards and again managed to cut into Cardigan's second half lead, trailing by six with 12:14 left to play. Despite a solid effort all round, the Eagles just couldn't keep up with the Cougars and ended up losing by 22 points.
Up next for the Ealges will be an away game at Suffield Academy on Monday.
