Brentwood Christian School Road Maps

Providing a nurturing and engaging environment for young learners.

Academic Road Map

At Brentwood Christian School our faculty and administrators from EL3/4 through 12th grade work together to ensure our students are academically challenged and prepared. When working on curriculum our teachers meet in both vertical and horizontal collaborative teams to ensure each grade level subject is preparing the students for the next grade level and eventually higher education. This has allowed us to work together to create our academic road map and ensures each student has a very firm educational foundation and will be successful beyond the walls of BCS.
