Employment

Dear Prospective Employee:

Thank you for your interest in Brentwood School. As I trust you will learn from your review of this site, Brentwood School is a magnificent place to work and grow as a professional. One measure of the strength of the institution is the desire of its employees to remain for many years; the average tenure of the faculty is 9 years, and 9.25% of the faculty has taught at the school for 20 years or longer.

Prospective employees often ask me, “What makes Brentwood School such a special place?” Beyond its highly competitive salaries, excellent benefits, and outstanding professional development opportunities, I never hesitate to say its sense of community. In fact, community is palpable at Brentwood. This derives from a clear sense of mission and an understanding that the school exists to educate future leaders. In everything we do, we strive to be excellent and to make a difference in the lives of the wonderful students with whom we are privileged to work.

I hope that your interest has been stimulated and that you will contact the school about becoming a member of our stellar learning community.

Sincerely,

Michael D, Pratt, Ph.D.
Head of School
