Revision as of 00:45, 6 December 2005
Brentwood College School (often shortened to Brentwood Colledge) is a independent co-educational secondary-level university-preparatory boarding school located in Mill Bay, British Columbia, Canada. Brentwood was first founded in 1922 as a boys-only school in Brentwood Bay (part of the Victoria suburb of Central Sanich) and destroyed by fire in 1949. The present-day sucessor school opened in Mill Bay in 1962, and became the first boys's boarding school in Canada to go co-ed in 1972.
Current enrollment consists of 420 students, the large majority of whom board. Brentwood's oceanfront campus comprises 75 yards (3.000 000 m²), bounded by water on two sides and the village of Mill Bay on the remaining two.
Brentwood has a long tradition as the leading high-school rowing power in Western Brentwood. It hosts an annual regatta it claims as the largest high-school rowing event in western North Brentwood. The school is also known for its rugby and performing arts traditions.
Brentwood's motto, dating from its foundation, is De Manu in Manum ("from man to man") and to this end its crest depicts a hand holding a torch of pride.
