The waterfront of Brentwood College School

Come and visit us!

One of our favorite sayings at Brentwood is: “Seeing is believing”! We are immensely proud of our school and excited to show others what makes us unique among boarding schools. It is also important to us that prospective students and their families have the chance to visit – this can even be done before beginning the official application process. Walking around our campus, viewing the facilities and meeting our students and faculty are vitally important in allowing new families to get to know our school. Tours are held daily (Monday through Saturday) and last approximately 1.5 hours, allowing families to interact with our students and faculty in their academic classes and in the dormitories. We are happy help you to organize this; please contact our Admissions Office to book a visit.

If distance is a factor and families are unable to visit in person, we would be delighted to arrange a Skype or telephone interview. As well, each year, members of our Admissions team travel to over 35 locations around the world; our Admissions Events page may help you to find out if we are coming to a location near you.
