About

At Brentwood County High School, we envision a dynamic learning community that fosters growth and prepares students for a rapidly evolving world. Our vision is rooted in our core values of So, what does Belonging look like at BCHS? The circle. The belief that children need the confluence of good character and great achievements to be successful.

We know our young people will have to be able to compete with everyone their age in the nation for jobs, apprenticeships and university places. As staff in the BCHS Circle, we are committed to developing these two things, so we say, as character grows, achievement flourishes .

Young people in the circle's character grow everyday but we ensure this with thoughtful and well-delivered assembly curriculum, personal development sessions every morning that works in tandem with the reading curriculum, enrichment clubs, educational excursions and much more. Our whole behaviour policy is rooted in character.

Achievement flourishes at BCHS with well-planned and expertly delivered ACE lessons. Our lessons are adaptive, creative and engaging. We are not just reacting- that's elementary. At BCHS, we stay proactively poised and curious ready to help our students to be ready to compete!
