CELEBRATING A SUCCESSFUL VISION
Today’s students and families are bombarded by secular messages that often counter the truth. Brentwood Academy creates an environment where students are nurtured, challenged, and valued and where they learn to think critically from a biblical perspective.
By God’s grace, Brentwood Academy has consistently influenced our community for more than 50 years. Our strength is in our Christ-centered mission and the understanding that the gospel offers meaning and purpose to every aspect of our work.
We equip our students for life as we help them discover their gifts and talents, develop confidence and initiative, and gain knowledge and wisdom. In the process, they are mentored and taught by faculty who encourage faith in Christ as they nurture and challenge each whole person to the glory of God.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF FORWARD IN FAITH
Campus was a busy construction site throughout the past school year, and our community is now enjoying new spaces and enhancements.
In March, Brentwood Academy opened our new campus entrance and parking lot. The benefit of having a traffic-controlled campus entrance and over 80 new parking spaces had an immediate impact on safety and convenience.
In April, we dedicated our new chapel, which was named in honor of retired Head of School Curt Masters and his wife, Cindy, who faithfully served the school for 25 years. During the dedication, Chairman of the Board Buddy Bacon '82 expressed admiration for the Masters' faithfulness, leadership, and vision. "In naming this chapel in Curt and Cindy's honor, we acknowledge the profound influence of their faith and leadership as a couple. Curt and Cindy's love for the Lord is woven in the fabric of who we are as a school – a school where students are challenged to grow academically, athletically, and spiritually, into all God created them to be," shared Bacon.
In August, we opened the Lourderback Center for Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Arts. This 6,300 square foot upper school enhancement is the home of our expanding business and entrepreneurship program, two visual art studios, and robotics and technology lab. Completing the space are new restrooms, a student collaboration room, and an outside balcony for relationship building. When speaking about the business and entrepreneurship program, lead supporters Scott and Andrea Louderback shared, "Entrepreneurship and finance taught with biblical principles in collaboration with BA alums and parents in the business community is exciting. Through guest speakers and workplace experiences, the students will be equipped to pursue God's plan for them in college and their careers." Features of the new space include the Revelette Business & Entrepreneurship Classroom, the Harmon Family Robotics & Technology Lab, and the Nancy Simpkins Brasher '73 Porch, donated by an anonymous family.
All of these campus enhancements, along with our fitness center renovation of the Rock, occurred because of the generous giving from our BA community during the entirety of our Forward in Faith Campaign. On behalf of our students and faculty of today ad for generations to come, thank you!
THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE GIVEN TO THE FORWARD IN FAITH CAMPAIGN
PSALM 100:5
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.
