What California Families Are Saying
“We think it speaks volumes that both of our kids chose to attend Brentwood rather than a private school in our hometown of San Francisco. They have not only been challenged academically, athletically, and artistically but have been provided all the support and skills they need to handle challenges as they arise. Furthermore, their exposure to the incredibly diverse and talented students and academic family is simply not available to them in San Francisco. We would not hesitate a moment in recommending Brentwood to prospective students no matter where they are from.”
Susanne, San Francisco-based Parent
Student Perspective
“Coming from Marin County, Brentwood has been a transformative experience in terms of both my learning and self-growth. Joining the school in grade nine made for a seamless transition into an already well-established Bay Area community. I am forever thankful for the supportive learning environment that Brentwood has, which enabled me to be admitted to Georgetown University.”

Current Student, Whittall House ‘2025
