Brentwood School

Brentwood School is a nonsectarian K-12 day school on the west side of Los Angeles, enrolling more than 1,000 students across Lower, Middle, and Upper divisions. The school runs two campuses near the 405 freeway, a short drive from Santa Monica and the coast. Its program rests on three aims: think critically, act ethically, and shape a future with meaning. Honor codes anchor daily life, and students sign pledges tied to integrity and respect.

For faculty, the draw is scale paired with division-level intimacy. The world language program spans Mandarin, French, Latin, and Spanish, which is broad for a day school. Each division stays small enough that teachers know students by name. Coaching and club sponsorship are common, but staff head home at the end of the day rather than living on campus.

Compensation reflects the west Los Angeles market. Salaries at established independent day schools here tend to sit near the top of California ranges. Typical benefits include medical and dental coverage, a retirement match, tuition remission for faculty children, and funded professional development. Brentwood School reported roughly $70 million in revenue and more than $103 million in net assets in 2023, a base that supports long faculty tenures.

Teaching roles open across all three divisions, plus athletics, arts, learning support, admissions, advancement, and operations. Most faculty searches post in winter and close by spring. Candidates apply through the careers page at bwscampus.com.
