MISSION FIT FAMILIES,
IT'S A PARTNERSHIP
Brentwood Academy currently serves families and students from 49 zip codes and 85 different schools. Though our families' backgrounds are varied, they have chosen Brentwood Academy for a similar reason: to find a school that provides a well-rounded student experience in a Christian environment.
BA is eager to partner with families who support our mission to nurture and challenge each whole person – body, mind, and spirit – to the glory of God. Academically, students will be challenged to develop the skills represented by our Portrait of a Graduate. Through our curriculum and the guidance of dedicated teachers, BA students become resilient young men and women equipped as problem solvers, critical thinkers, and clear communicators.
Because we see the value of physical fitness, we require every Middle School student to play a team sport or join a fitness option for each season. In the Upper School, we allow specialization but strongly encourage multiple sports. Character and skill development matter as much to us as competition. We teach each student that their individual interest is subordinate to the team. We also ask our student athletes to treat others with respect and hold them accountable, so they learn to own their actions.
While BA is not a covenant school and not a part of a specific denomination, all faculty and staff agree with our Statement of Faith, and it is important that each family understands that their student will be taught based on the Statement of Faith and a biblical worldview. Every grade has a required Bible class, and all students attend weekly chapels and begin each day with daily devotions. While we respect individual beliefs, Christian values and a biblical worldview will be taught in every class and setting. Families must be comfortable with this approach.
Finally, Brentwood Academy awards need-based financial aid to families who qualify; on average, families who qualify will receive 61% of their need met by financial aid.
