We created EBSB because we believe middle school boys deserve a better education than they are getting in coeducational middle schools.  We believe that in creating a school that adheres to the following core principles we will be creating a dynamic and rich learning environment for boys.

•  Boys need responsibility, affirmation and activity. When boys are given these three things, they can learn more and access their best selves. 

•  Boys communicate about their emotions more easily while doing.

•  Boys reflect on and learn about themselves best when, in a safe setting, they can see the consequences of their decisions and actions.

•  Boys become engaged more when they have choice and a chance to prove their self-reliance.

•  Boys need to witness boys of all kinds succeeding.
