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 Eaglebrook Ski Team has a group of five J2 USSA skiers competing this season, including; Lucien Malle, Henry Conlon, Christopher Bower, Patrick Finnegan, and Connor Wilson. The group has traveled to two USSA Slalom races thus far in the year at Bousquet and Blanford. The first Slalom race at Bousquet served as a training day for the boys to begin to feel comfortable on their skis and begin to mentally prepare for "race mode". The second Slalom race this past weekend was at Blanford, which was a more mellow and moderate hill that allowed our J2s to gain more confidence. All of the boys have made improvements, and are gaining more tactical experience while being exposed to more ski mountains and competing ski clubs. The next race for the J2s will be a Slalom at Berkshire East on Sunday the 22nd.
