Brentwood College School

Brentwood College School is a co-educational boarding and day school for grades 9–12 on a 77-acre oceanfront campus in Mill Bay, British Columbia. Founded in 1923, the school enrolls 500–700 students and combines university-preparatory academics with a residential learning model. The setting on Vancouver Island draws students seeking rigorous preparation for post-secondary life in a structured community setting.

Teaching here follows a "college model" that shapes how faculty work. Most residential positions require coaching, dorm advising, and after-hours mentorship alongside classroom teaching. This integrated role means your influence extends beyond the syllabus into student character and independence—the school's stated mission. Day faculty concentrate on classroom instruction but still participate in school events and clubs.

Brentwood offers language programs in Mandarin Chinese, French, and Spanish, reflecting its international reach. The curriculum balances traditional subject depth with breadth. Faculty design courses within an established framework while retaining autonomy to innovate and respond to student interests.

The school hires year-round for teaching positions in core subjects, modern languages, sciences, and humanities. Residential staff roles and advancement positions open seasonally. On-campus housing, meals, and professional development support come standard. Salaries align with Canadian independent school pay scales across the region.

For high school teachers weighing boarding school work, Brentwood's size means each hire shapes culture directly. Departures are rare, tenure is long, and new faculty integrate into a stable community. The oceanfront location and established international programming offer uncommon anchors for faculty recruitment and retention.
