Brentwood College School

Brentwood is a co-educational boarding school for Grades 9 to 12. Prospective students are drawn to our school’s innovative approach, university preparatory programmes, and spectacular oceanfront setting.

Since 1923, we have worked diligently to establish a transformative place of learning and leadership, mirroring the educational experience of a small college rather than a traditional boarding school. Our primary purpose is to help students gain the independence and skills necessary to succeed in the post-secondary world while studying in a safe, caring, and nurturing environment.

Today, Brentwood stands as a model of progressive, West Coast boarding. Our school is a remarkable place to make lifelong friends while gaining a world-class education. We welcome visitors and invite you to share in the Brentwood experience.

We are proud that Brentwood is a dynamic and progressive place of learning, where student choice is at the forefront; the school’s culture is based on the fundamental concept of students choosing to attend Brentwood. Our admissions team will ask students a very simple question, “Is it your choice to attend Brentwood?” This philosophy of choice creates a warm, friendly, and passionate community of learners and leaders that encompass the Brentwood Family – students, staff, parents, and alum.

As a contemporary school, with a unique approach to balancing academics, arts, and athletics, we offer a West Coast, university prep atmosphere within a nurturing environment. As a boarding school, learning opportunities are not limited to school hours but continue throughout the day – on our fields, in our art studios, on our stages, and in our houses. We believe that this deep, enriched learning experience leads to a transformative experience.

As a university preparatory school, the pursuit of academic excellence is one of our school’s fundamental aims. We strive to help students reach levels of achievement that truly reflect their ability, attitude, and effort.

To create ideal learning conditions, we provide students with the required technology, small class sizes, and low student-teacher ratios. When it is advantageous, we also group students by ability. Our academic curriculum drives our prep school mandate and also meets the prescribed BC (British Columbia) provincial learning outcomes.
