Brentwood Academy’s philosophy, symbolized by a triangle, represents the mission of nurturing and challenging each whole person – body, mind, and spirit – to the glory of God.
Set on a beautiful 50+ acre campus in the heart of Brentwood, TN, BA serves students in grades 6 through 12. Our highly skilled faculty members who are committed to Christ encourage students to pursue excellence in many interests. The triangle philosophy provides support for strong academics and challenging athletics, built on a foundation of faith in the Gospel.

Academics
Committed to delivering an exceptional academic experience in a Christ-centered environment, Brentwood Academy faculty further the mission to nurture and challenge each whole person by providing excellent instruction while building relationships with students in smaller classroom settings. As a college-preparatory school, BA offers 40 honors and 21 AP classes with a curriculum and block schedule designed much like a college format, allowing for a deeper exploration of topics and content delivery.
College Counseling
Led by an experienced, dedicated, and student-focused team, Brentwood Academy’s college counselors help students in their next steps beyond BA. BA’s counseling curriculum is shaped by four guiding principles: cultivating a highly individualized process, empowering students to confidently lead, serving a wide range of student aspirations, and creating a culture to celebrate everyone’s success and God-given talents.
Academic Support
Dedicated Academic Support staff empower students to take ownership of their academic and learning journey. The Academic Support team provides study halls and tutoring for BA students and creates access to accommodations for those with learning differences. Students who qualify may receive subject-specific tutoring during directed study halls, and upper school students have the option of participating in the E3 tutoring program.
Christian Life
The Christian Life Department at Brentwood Academny facilitates experiential programming that aims to build a biblical foundation as students interact with the Gospel.
