About Us

Brentwood School inspires every student to:
Think critically and creatively.
Act ethically.
Shape a future with meaning.

statement of purpose

Brentwood School provides its students with powerful academic challenges, but that is just one facet of the Brentwood experience. Yes, our students excel in the classroom. They also achieve in arts and athletics, and they learn how to guide a discussion, take center stage, or champion a new idea. Our Lower School is rich with developmentally appropriate opportunities, while building a foundation for future learning. As students move to the Middle and Upper Schools, they might explore yoga, improv, or coding, or join the Entrepreneurs Club or Benefacta, our Service Learning honor society. They complete internships with ABC News and Netflix and the UCLA Research Labs, and slowly, purposefully, develop as leaders. What's more, they have the chance to try these many endeavors and also to pursue them in real depth. At Brentwood School, young people find a world of other options, all with the goal of shaping a future with meaning.
