==== T. Gil Bunch Centre ====
Brentwood was first founded in 1923 as a boys school. The original location was in ] near ] on ], from where its name was derived. The original school was destroyed by a fire in 1947, leaving only the chapel intact. The new and current school is located westward directly across the bay from the original site, in Mill Bay. The new version of the school was resurrected through the efforts of ] and opened in September 1961. In 1972, Brentwood College opted to become the first all boys' boarding school in ] to gradually integrate girls, starting with 20 grade 12 students, becoming officially co-ed for the fall session.<ref name="Prowse2002">Prowse, Nicholas R.B. ''Kindled from the Ashes: A Short History of Brentwood College''. Victoria: Brentwood, 2002.</ref>


In 2003, the T. Gil Bunch Centre was built. This {{convert|20000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} facility includes a 431-seat theatre, dance studio, media arts room, green room, four dressing rooms, and other production related spaces as well as a music suite.
===Old school (1923-1947)===
<!-- Deleted image removed: ] -->
Brentwood College was founded in 1886 at Brentwood Bay, B.C., by a group of distinguished Victoria business and professional men, led by P.F. Curtis. From the initial enrollment of fifty boys and a faculty of four, the school operated for many years on the shores of Brentwood Bay and gained a reputation through outstanding academic and athletic results.


==== Art and Mary Jane Crooks Hall ====
While many significant milestones chart its historical journey, Brentonians remember with pride the achievements of their founders and pioneers, including Brentwood's first Olympian, ] (Class of 1930), LCdr. ] (Class of 1930) a WWII hero and commander of ], ] (Class of 1941) a senior member of ] cabinet and ] (Class of 1941) WWII hero.


In 2010, Crooks Hall was built featuring an oceanfront dining room and student services centre that seats 350 people at rectangular tables. Crooks Hall also houses The Saville Centre for Business and Entrepreneurship, School Store, and Laundry and Mail Services.
In 1947, fire consumed the Brentwood Bay campus. Only the Brentwood Memorial Chapel, where the annual Service of Remembrance is still held, survived. Although the original school was forced to close, Old Brentonians dreamed of rebuilding their school.<ref name="Prowse2002"/>


==== Centre for Arts and Humanities ====
===New school (1961-1971)===
In 2012, Brentwood added a new facility to house the school's fine arts programs and humanities courses. This building is 30,000 sq. ft., located on Brentwood's oceanfront, and houses 16,000 sq.ft. of visual arts studios, two digital media studios, and a 25' high entrance leading into a long corridor art gallery.

In 1960, some of the old school alumni met David D. MacKenzie, the re-founding headmaster, and were tremendously encouraged by his enthusiasm. As a result of their collective financial commitment, and in particular David Mackenzie's enduring dedication, the new Brentwood College campus reopened in September 1961 on the shores of Mill Bay, directly westward across the bay from its original location in Brentwood Bay. The new campus featured a central complex with the dining area for over 200 in the basement, offices and meeting rooms on the main floor and dormitories on the upper floors. An adjoining building housed classrooms with a gymnasium attached at the far right end. Several separate buildings served as accommodation for the 180 or so boarders.
Brentwood offers ] education from grade 8 to 12. Brentwood has been ranked consistently as one of the top academic ]s in ]. Students participate in Brentwood's tripartite program (academics, arts, and athletics). All graduates attend ] (78% to their first choice of university). The most popular countries for post-secondary education are ], ], ], and the ]. Brentwood's 2015 graduates received offers from over 138 universities with 678 offers of admission, including ], ], ], ], ], ], ], and ].


Students can take British Columbia ], ] exams, courses and the American ] prep tutorials.
From 1961-1968 the dining room was in the basement of the central complex, and was often packed to capacity with 180 or so boys plus instructors and house masters. The dining area had in the order of 17 standard four foot by eight foot tables with wooden benches along each side and two chairs at the ends. The kitchen held an array of stainless steel, quasi-industrial, cook ware on a fairly large scale, complete with gas fired cooking surfaces, automatic dish washing equipment, and mass production toasters. About 5 employees, usually local women, were hired to do the cooking. The most memorable, and perhaps oft repeated, dishes were curried chicken with rice, fish sticks, Salisbury steak, liver and onions, macaroni with cheese, bacon or sausages and eggs with toast and potatoes. More rarely roast beef or t-bone steak was served with an assortment of vegetables. Usually milk, juice, tea and water were the standard fair for drinks. Deserts ranged from various types of pudding to canned fruit with fresh fruit on occasion. The morning break offered cake with the usual assortment of drinks. In retrospect the meals were likely the best one could expect under the circumstances in regard to budget and the mass preparation technology of the day. Overall it is amazing everything was so well organized from 1961-68 and a tribute to many long unseen and for the most part unappreciated hours of effort, on the part of the school staff as a whole. The new, much improved, dining room, located at the north end of campus, was ready for the 1968-1969 session and still serves that role today.


==Extracurricular activities, clubs, and organizations==
Classes were efficiently organized and taught by domain experts, usually of 55 minute duration, with the first class at 8:00. The school effectively operated on a six day schedule with classes held both morning and afternoon on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Half days on Tuesday , Thursday and Saturday were completed with the full afternoon devoted to sports. Sunday was inevitably filled with even more extra curricular sports. The advantage of having an almost exclusive student body of boarders and all of them male meant that constant activity was the best way to maintain harmony!

==Scholarships==
A mid-morning break was at 10:00, followed by two more classes, then lunch at 12:30. The afternoons on Tuesday and Thursday were dedicated to sports activities, mainly rugby, starting at 13:30. The bulk of students were inculcated into the gentlemanly, rough and ready, sport of rugby, starting with rules of the game and preliminary exercises. These included ball handling skills, strategy and tackling practice combined with endurance training. The most memorable (and often joyfully derided) exercises were conducted by Nick Prowse, which he called “Heine Muellers”. Needless to say at the end of the sports sessions one might be considered lucky to have escaped with only a few bruises, cuts, complete exhaustion, and possibly an enhanced understanding of the universe. Dinner was served at 18:00 in the dining area, then a prefect enforced study session ensued in ones respective dormitory or study area until 21:30. Prefects were appointed by housemasters from the grade 12 group, as limited proxies, for house master authority.<ref name="Prowse2002"/>


Currently, the school offers bursaries, financial aid, and The Governor's Entrance Scholarship to eligible Canadian students. Approximately 20% of students receive some type of financial assistance.
