Our son is at the Eagle Hill summer program and loves it. We are trying to convince him to attend for sophomore year. He likes his current school but it does not compare to Eagle Hill . ITs a great school

Hi Bonnie,
Thank you for sharing your Eagle Hill experience. We really did like the school and we have decided that this would be the best placement for our son. We looked at several day schools in the Metro Boston area, but none of them seemed to compare.

My son has been a student at Eagle Hill for the past 4-years (he started in 8th grade). I can’t say enough about the school. I don’t know to what Al is referring, but we’ve not experienced anything negative at Eagle Hill at all. Eagle Hill is the best thing that has happened to my son and to our family as a whole. The place is amazing. Whatever they claim to do, they do in spades. The teachers, the staff, the administration — everyone gives 200%. Because of Eagle Hill, my son went from a sad, lonely, and isolated kid who didn’t understand what was going on in his classes to a happy, enthusiastic, curious learner with a passion for academics and many friends. He will be attending a 4-year college upon graduation and this would have never been possible without Eagle Hill. There is nothing negative about this school, except perhaps the fact that one has to eventually leave it! And no, I do not work for the school. I am just a parent who is forever grateful to the people at Eagle Hill who saved my son’s life.

Terry,

If your Son is in High School, You might take a look at Chapel Hill Chauncy Hall School in Waltham.

Al, I am in the process of completing an application for Eagle Hill. My son was diagnosed with NLD and the public school has not been able to support him. We have visited Eagle Hill and thought it would be a perfect fit, until I read your post. Can you please tell me when your daughter was a student there? Can anyone else recommend schools for NLD students other than Franklin? Has anyone had experience with Forman?

Our daughter went to Eagle Hill and it was the worst mistake that we ever made in our life. She had a learning disability but had no social issues.The year she was there the class was about 15 – 20 kids in her class.Over 8 kids were expelled from the school for various infractions.There were several drug overdose,drinking infractions and much more.My daughter explained to me that the kids that went home for weekend trips brought back drug and booze for the week end activities.

I WOULD NEVER SEND MY KID THERE EVER.

I went to tour Eagle Hill with my son who would be entering as a sophmore.It was wonderful. Friendly students and teachers engaged in small classes. They are building a new dinning hall and arts center that was awesome. I have talked to parents who have their children at the school currently and sing their praises. I am hopeful my son will get in.
