Athletics

Since 1923, Brentwood has developed a remarkable athletic history that includes championship banners at the regional, provincial and national level and 24 alumni who have gone on to be Olympians.  While the end results have been impressive, it is the journey that students remember and cherish the most.  Today, we continue to develop student athletes with the goal of supporting the school’s vision, mission, and values.

For students looking for more than these offerings, they may also be able to participate in off campus programs in addition to their Brentwood sport commitment. Some examples would include Track & Field, Equestrian, Triathlon etc.

As a key pillar of our tripartite philosophy, we know that sport brings a unique perspective to the learning experience and provides lifelong lessons that are not easily replicated in a traditional classroom setting.  At Brentwood we encourage all of our students to: 

1. Commit to leading an active and healthy lifestyle;
2. Develop sportsmanship, empathy, and respect;
3. Understand teamwork and sacrifice;
4. Appreciate hard work and resilience;
5. Strive for excellence.

We offer a broad spectrum of recreational and competitive athletic opportunities, and encourage, particularly, at the younger levels, student participation in multiple sports.  Furthermore, we strongly believe in the power of team sports, as they provide experience in:

• Communication - understanding how to work effectively with people from a variety of different backgrounds;
• Goal setting - short and long term, both individual and team based;
• Commitment - to teammates and to a process of continuous learning and improvement;
• Competition - including learning to compete in high pressure situations; 
• Community building - having fun and making friends!

Our student-athletes develop life skills that go well beyond the playing fields. We offer opportunities for teams to go on Athletic Tours to various countries around the world.
