From the Admissions Office

Now Accepting Applications for New Students for the 2010-2011 School Year

If you have other children not currently attending Brent that you wish to enroll for the 2010-2011 school year, please submit an application to the Admissions Office as soon as possible. The application can be printed from Brent’s website. See the Admissions tab at www.brent.edu.ph. You can also pick up an application directly from the Admissions Office. Once our office receives the complete application a day can be scheduled for your child to take Brent’s entrance exams and be interviewed. You are encouraged to start the process as soon as possible since waiting could result in a grade level already being full.  If you have any questions let us know how we can assist you with the Admissions process.  Thank you!

Temporary Change in Contact Information

Dear Parents,

For security, medical and legal reasons we ask for your support in completing our Temporary Contact Information form if brief travels require you to temporarily leave a Brent student in the care of another individual.

Copies of the form are now available to download. We ask that you please submit the completed form to the office before your travels take place.

Thank you for your partnership as we implement new methods of supporting your children in mind, body and spirit.
