Grade 8 Day Program
Brentwood College School introduced a preparatory Grade 8 class for day students in September of 2014. This program has been a great success with students working with 2 dedicated Grade 8 teachers while being introduced to various aspects of the Brentwood 9 -12 program. Brentwood prides itself on being a modern, innovative place of learning and this program is designed to continue that tradition. While an extension of Brentwood College School, our Brentwood Grade 8 class has its own independent timetable, focus and attention. This 21st century learning environment prepares successful candidates for Brentwood’s Grade 9-12 university preparatory program and beyond. For more information about our Brentwood Grade 8 Program, please contact our Admissions office as spaces are limited for the coming school year.
Coming to Brentwood is something I will never regret. They helped me realize what we need to do to achieve the goals in our lives. I am very thankful for what Brentwood has done for us.
