Community of Caring
Our teachers work with skill and intent to nurture not only students' academic progress, but also their social and emotional growth.
In the Lower School, students meet weekly in small groups to explore topics such as Brentwood School's Core Values, sportsmanship, and conflict resolution. Carefully planned advisory programs in Middle and Upper School pair students with faculty mentors, and weekly gatherings create a forum to reflect on questions of ethics, friendship, and more.
National School of Character
Our Lower School has earned the distinction of National School of Character since 2011. Students meet weekly for Community of Caring time where they discuss conflict resolution, problem-solving, sportsmanship, our Core Values, and our Honor Code. These weekly discussions provide children with a forum where they can ask questions, present concerns, and model open and effective communication.
