LOOKING FOR MORE?
UPPER SCHOOL
We are dedicated to nurturing and challenging each of our students at Brentwood Academy. One way we do this is by providing specific and generalized resources to support our students in their area of need. The following lists explain these resources availble before, during, and after school to upper school students.
These resources are meant to augment formalized Student Academic Support (SAS) offered at BA not intended to take the place of those formal supports.
