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.”
Eaglebrook marked its sixth annual celebration of the Lunar New Year on Sunday, February 11, with a feast at Gibbs Dining Hall.
The evening began with a special Sunday Meeting led by Mrs. Lapointe, who spoke about the meaning of the Lunar New Year and the lion dance that is a central feature of many New Year celebrations.
Gibbs was adorned with a warm array of red and gold decorations befitting the occasion, with traditional Chinese and Korean lanterns casting a warm glow over the event.
The dinner began with a selection of Chinese and Korean appetizers, followed by the arrival of the Imperial Lion Dance team from Worcester, Massachusetts, who announced themselves with thunderous drum beats. The main courses were then served as the entire school celebrated the arrival of the Year of the Dragon.
