Brentwood College School (often shortened to Brentwood College) is an independent co-educational secondary-level university-preparatory boarding school located in Mill Bay, British Columbia, Canada. Brentwood was first founded in 1923 as a boys-only school in Brentwood Bay (part of the Victoria suburb of Central Saanich) and destroyed by fire in 1947. The present-day successor school opened in Mill Bay in 1961, and became the first boys' 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 acres (304,000 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 Canada. It hosts an annual regatta it claims as the largest high-school rowing event in western North America. 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 hand to hand") and to this end its crest depicts a hand holding a torch of knowledge.
