Support BWS

Since the day Brentwood School opened its doors in 1972, parents, grandparents, faculty, staff, administration, friends — and later, alumni and their families—have been helping to ensure our school’s future with contributions that demonstrate an overwhelming support for the vision and mission of Brentwood School.

As an independent, 501(c)(3), not-for-profit organization, we depend on the partnership of everyone in our community to help provide the vital components that allow us to effectively deliver our mission to our students – excellent academic, athletic, and artistic programs, dedicated and intellectually curious teachers, appropriate facilities, and a diverse and interesting peer group.

Our goal each year is not only to raise the funds that make this vision possible, but also to encourage every family to be part of the team, at whatever level is personally appropriate.

We invite you to take a few moments to discover the heart of Brentwood School by exploring the people, places, philosophies, and ideas that unfold throughout our Web site. We think you will begin to see what inspires members of our school community to invest in us – through annual giving (the Brentwood Fund) and endowment giving, as well as support for capital projects and financial aid. If you would like more information about giving opportunities and the benefits your gifts can provide, please send an e-mail to Josh Melnick at jmelnick@bwscampus.com. We will respond right away and look forward to the conversation.

Your partnership makes it possible!
