• What Brentwood College School says it looks for in students

  At Brentwood, we seek the right fit for both the student and our school. We only accept students who choose to be here; no one is sent to our school. Student choice is a unique part of our culture and a deciding factor in who attends the School. It’s why this place is so special. We believe when students truly choose to be here, and they’re surrounded by a family of like-minded friends and supporters, they can be anything. We seek students who value opportunity, embrace our values of grit and joy, and are prepared to enrich our vibrant, friendly, boarding school community.
  
  We find the students best suited to Brentwood's course of studies are those capable of succeeding in a tripartite university-preparatory program. This means that admission is not solely based on an applicant's academic potential, but also on character and eagerness to participate actively in our arts and athletic programs. We care about what students accomplish in and out of the classroom. Application to Brentwood is always competitive and we encourage families to start the application process as early as possible.
