Adolescent Program (5th to 8th Grade)
Brentwood Adolescent Program is a leader in the field of Adolescent Education. we are the only middle school in the region that base their curriculum on the Carl Brent Educational philosophy (Classroom Advantage, Group Dynamics and Practical Learning). According to Carl Brent Philosophy, a middle school “should be a place where close, trusting relationships with adults and peers create a climate for students' personal growth and intellectual development.” The Philosophy suggests a small “one-house” school to eliminate fragmented learning and to encourage opportunities for teachers to develop “sustained personal relationships with students. “ Brentwood teachers act as coaches for project-based learning in each subject area and each child has a teacher as his or her advisor throughout the program. The small class size, one-room school, and access to teachers all help to keep Brentwood on the cutting edge of adolescent education. Brentwood adolescent program offers a challenging curriculum in an environment that is conducive to the academic, personal, and social needs of 10 to 14 year olds. The program is based on Carl Brent Educational Philosophy to educate the “whole child.”
Brentwood delights in the special challenge of educating adolescents.
