Student Life

The many paths that students can explore distinguish the Brentwood School experience. We encourage our students to sample various interests and discover which ones drive and excite them.

Student life is vibrant and welcoming. It is reinforced when we all come together to share a significant event — like Opening Ceremony — and in the smaller moments when students connect with teachers, and with each other. Through our after-school activities, Lower Schoolers share common interests like musical theater or Lego Robotics. Middle and Upper School students form clubs around coding, business, the arts, nonprofit work, Veteran engagement, and much more. We have divisionwide jam sessions, silly assembly presentations, and an epic grade-level competition called September Splash.

Spirited events, like cheering our friends on the field at Homecoming or on stage during the musical, are balanced with meaningful times of reflection. All of this community-building forms a foundation for students to explore boldly in the classroom, while forging the kinds of life-long friendships that draw alumni back to campus year after year.
