Middle School (6-8)
Our Middle School teachers understand how to motivate and engage students during this pivotal stage of development.
Relevant classroom lessons spark students' curiosity, and they begin to grasp more detailed, nuanced learning. We make space during the school day for courses such as music, art, and debate because we recognize the value of a well-rounded education.
The true life blood of the Middle School community is in the teacher-student interactions. Trust evolves from the depth of these relationships and from the consideration given to Middle Schoolers' perspectives. They know their opinions are valued, and that is empowering.
A Welcome from Middle School Director Carrie Green
Middle School is one of the most exciting times in a young person’s life! At Brentwood, we believe in process over product, journey over destination. We challenge and encourage students to try new things through the trusting relationships our faculty establish with each student and the community of peers that we build within each Brentwood class. The skills, habits of mind, and approach to learning developed during these years prepares students for success in high school, college, and beyond. Come visit and see our community of learners in action — experience the care, connection, and curiosity that characterize the Brentwood Middle School.
