Middle School (6-8)

Our Middle School teachers push the status quo to continually evolve their classwork.

Rejecting what is most convenient, our teachers work hard to select material that is relevant to Brentwood students. We want them to constantly consider the practical implications of their learning. Because we believe in a complete education, we make space during the school day for courses like music and debate to round out our student's experience. 

All the while, the true life blood of our Middle School community is in the engagement between teachers and students. Trust comes not only from the depth of these relationships but also through soliciting student perspectives for decisions like our block scheduling and affinity events. We come together in large community moments to celebrate. We meet in small groups to discuss our Core Values and social-emotional issues. And when students struggle, the faculty gather to strategize about how to rally around them.
