Many Paths to Explore

Brentwood School students can participate in all the things that capture their imagination. There is room to explore and discover. Scholars, athletes, artists, activists, inventors, aspiring leaders — students with a wide range of interests and talents — all find a home here. And many take deep interest in several areas, including some they had never considered before Brentwood.

“I like to do all the musical theater activities, and I like cheerleading with the Drill Bits. I didn’t know how to compost until I joined the Composting Club in 3rd grade and learned about it in science class. It’s fun to explore new types of learning while having fun. When I do Drill Bits I get to hang out with my friends. When I do composting, I get to help the earth. If everyone does one thing to help the earth, it will be much better than it is today.”

“I was able to try anything I wanted to. There was a lot of freedom. I’m a goaltender for varsity soccer, lead the Latinx Student Alliance, and play violin in the orchestra. I play violin in chamber groups and orchestras around town, but my main reason for wanting to become a musician and study music in college is Mr. Kim. I also ran track and tried football for two years. I’m not going to graduate and say, ‘I wish I could have done that.’”

"It was very important for me to attend a school that allows me to explore all of my interests. I compete on the tennis and track teams and love how Brentwood allows me to be serious with these sports and also to explore my academic interests. I am involved with the BCIL and last year won first place in the California State Science and Engineering Fair. (Ms. Fukuji was truly amazing mentoring me through this process.) I play piano too, and Mr. Blumstein has really grown my ability to play with other musicians. I love Brentwood School and all the opportunities it provides me!"

Remarkable Potential

The learning experience at Brentwood is a journey of inspiration and curiosity, guided by teachers who are expert in their fields — and expert at motivating young minds to learn with enthusiasm. Students engage deeply with material, think critically and creatively, and prepare for the challenges that lie ahead.

Values in Action

A Brentwood education goes well beyond academic achievement. We guide our students to grow in integrity, self-understanding, resilience, and leadership. The school defines and communicates its Core Values, which permeate daily life and help build character. One example is our Lower School composting program, led by our 1st graders to keep food out of our landfills and provide nutrient-rich soil for use on the West Campus. Read more

 

Innovative Leadership

By continuing to explore and evolve, students develop into leaders. Nowhere is the spirit of possibility more clear than in the Belldegrun Center for Innovative Leadership, a signature program that motivates students — from kindergarten through 12th grade — to ponder feasible solutions to real-world problems.
