Brentwood School is a place “where every student is a success.” This philosophy guides staff members as they plan and develop programs to meet the needs of each student. We believe that all students can learn and deserve engaging, hands-on instruction. Academic success, high self-esteem and a positive, safe environment remain our top priorities.

Our state and district Standards and Benchmarks provide us with high expectations for each child. Lessons are designed and curriculum is planned beginning with these expectations. The staff at Brentwood School provides instruction which combines:

	The basic skills of “learning to read” with quality literature
	The acquisition of basic math facts and computation with problem solving, hands-on and minds-on interaction with the scientific process
	A wide variety of writing activities across the curriculum
	Historical facts as they relate to global interdependence
	Active participation in physical education, art, music, and creative dramatics
	Thematic units provide an opportunity to apply skills and foster the love of reading, writing and mathematics within children

It is critical that parents continue to provide stable, loving homes and motivate our children to come to school ready to learn. We must work together to foster the joy and value of learning in our children to ensure their success.

High expectations combined with a child-centered educational philosophy and a positive learning environment, make Brentwood School an ideal place for students to reach their educational and personal potentials.
