Boarding life is at the very core of the Brentwood experience; we are not simply a school with boarding facilities. 86% of our students and 60% of our teachers live on campus, ensuring a warm and rich residential life.
Our philosophy is that the residential experience is integral to the success of our students. We believe that our boarding program helps each student develop self-discipline, maturity, independence, time management, and leadership skills while surrounded by caring friends and mentors. We enjoy creating a nurturing school culture and invest significant time, energy, and resources into our residential program: the Boarding Life Initiative.
Brentwood is a boarding school, not simply a school with boarding. Boarding is not an afterthought on our campus; it is the very heart of this school. Our community is special, defined by a culture of inclusion and empowerment. Students learn to become young adults in a contemporary setting, surrounded by caring friends and mentors, in relationships that last well beyond their years at Brentwood.
Our Boarding Life Initiative is complex, vibrant, and holistic and includes our advisor system, houseparenting teams, prep (homework time), house events, outings, and activities as well as peer counseling. We invest time and energy in creating a vibrant and supportive environment in our eight boarding houses (four girls, four boys) so students feel at home and can be themselves. Community, challenge, opportunity, and support are words Brentonians use to describe life here.
