Selection Process
Thank you for your interest in Brentwood School! Two basic principles guide us through each admissions process. The first stems from the nature of our school, that of being affiliated with a college preparatory school offering a rigorous academic curriculum. We want you to feel confident that every student admitted can enjoy academic success.
The second principle relates to attracting and securing a diverse student body. Brentwood School is committed to enrolling students with a wide range of backgrounds, learning styles, interest, talents and personalities.
Admission is far from an exact science. We carefully evaluate each application, unfortunately, we are not in the position to accept every qualified student. In many instances our decisions are influenced by the limited number of students that we are able to admit, and are not a direct reflection of the personal and academic qualifications of the applicant.
