“ When we first came through these doors, a lot of us were nervous and just a little bit unsure what to expect. But, at Eagle Hill it's OK to make mistakes. Our teachers say that it's the only way to learn. They know we learn differently, so they teach differently. ”

Maia

Student, Upper School

“ Joy and her team at Eagle Hill have done an exceptional job equipping students with invaluable life skills. From navigating roommate dynamics to mastering the art of negotiation and compromise, their seamless adaptation reflects the solid foundation they've received. EHS students arrive at Greenwood well-prepared for the journey toward independence, and as they integrate into our community, they consistently excel and shine. ”

Aria Carter, Director of Admissions

The Greenwood School in Putney, VT

“ Our learning environment allows us to foster intimate relationships with each student, making possible an important level of trust. Because all of our classes have a small student-teacher ratio, no one hides and everyone is given the attention that he or she needs. There’s a sense that we’re all in this together. ”

Alexandra Connolly

Teacher at Eagle Hill

“ After his first year at Eagle Hill, our son decided to move into the dorm and was there for three years. The dorm was an amazing experience and helped shape him into the young man he is today. We recommend every student to give the dorm a try – it is life changing! ”

Eagle Hill Alumni Parent (Class of 2019)

“ The teachers really get to know the students—what they can and can't do—and they make adjustments. And these teachers are so skilled. Sometimes I feel that they go beyond their profession. They're not just educators. I feel like they're magicians. ”

Christina Mitchell

Parent

“ Students who have attended and boarded at the Eagle Hill School find it particularly easy to transition to boarding life at The Gow School. They arrive accustomed to a safe, structured, and individualized approach to residential living that aligns directly with the goals of the academic program. Students often become leaders and role-models in the dormitory and share their past experience with their new to boarding peers. ”
