Community Outreach

Brentwood School is an independent, not-for-profit, K-12 coed day school in the Brentwood community of Los Angeles. Since 1972, we have inspired our students to be lifelong learners with a sense of responsibility to the local, national, and global communities. Beyond the classrooms, stages, studios, and playing fields, Brentwood School is a caring and conscientious neighbor, as well as a financial asset to the local community.

Service Learning At-A-Glance:

Individual Efforts: Each senior identifies a project of his/her choice through the Senior Seminar and Ethics class, and completes 15 hours of service to that project prior to graduation.

School Programs: Students participate in service activities by grade level, through campus service clubs, and with their athletics teams.

Service Learning: Curriculum and community are in partnership, with students participating in outreach and service learning projects at each grade level.

  • Aidan’s Place
  • AmeriCorps
