I give back to Brentwood Academy because of our unwavering mission to nurture the whole person, body, mind, and spirit, to the Glory of God. It was true 30 years ago, and it is still true today as we watched our son, Jack, graduate in the class of 2023. The relationships I developed with classmates, teammates, coaches, and families while at BA, as a student and again as a parent, are some of my longest, dearest, and most cherished. I want every student and family who is part of our community to have that experience. Giving back is one way to show my gratitude for the legacy Brentwood Academy has given me, my parents, my husband, and now my children, and to ensure it continues for future generations.

In a world of shifting values, I give with great gratitude as an alum to contribute to the growth and success of BA and a Christian education.
Coming from a large public school to Brentwood Academy felt like coming home to family. This is why I choose to give to BA.
207 days ago by Kelly SmithThe contribution that Brentwood Academy made to the foundational years of our kids, Meredith '16 and Alex '23, encompassing the triangle of Body, Mind, & Spirit, continues to impact their lives after graduation. We believe in the mission, purpose, and vision of BA and the opportunity for community that it creates. Our reaction is to support and participate in this community with our giving of time and financial gifts.
Brentwood Academy put me in a position to succeed in my university and graduate studies as well as professionally in my career. I give both in gratitude as well as to play a small part in perpetuating BA's capacity to provide future students with the same opportunities.
207 days ago by Kelly SmithBA was an amazing experience for both myself and my wife. We built skills and knowledge during our time there that set our lives off in a fantastic way being able to achieve goals that would not have been attainable at other schools in my opinion. I want that for current students and one day my own children. We make it a priority to give to help the mission that enhances the schools ability to follow the mission and thrive into the next decades to come.
o come.
