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.”
Many Eaglebrook students have worked with community outreach opportunities this year, most regularly with Jeff Connor ’83 and his Hospice program. Students from Eaglebrook visit hospice patients in the Franklin County area and provide services and support, typically during Saturday morning activities. Jeff and the Eaglebrook community have been involved with the Franklin County Hospice for 12 years and have worked with hundreds of families in the area. Last weekend, a group from Eaglebrook represented Franklin County Hospice in a local spring parade. Watch a clip of the Eaglebrook students marching.
