message: "The Brentwood regatta is the largest high school rowing regatta in North America, attracting over 1500 athletes and 3000 spectators.[8]"
The citation does not state this fact.
This is an incorrect statement. 
Please change the phrase to the largest high school rowing regatta in British Columbia
As the Canadian Secondary School Rowing Association championship in St.Catharines had 2,546 athletes in 2010.

: Partly done: I took out the "largest high school rowing regatta in North America", but neither the article source nor yours says it's the largest in British Columbia either. If you can provide a source for that statement I'll happily add it for you. Cheers, — Bility (talk) 08:38, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Sustainable buildings
In 2003, the T. Gill Bunch Centre was built. This 20,000-square-foot (1,900 m2) performing arts centre houses a theatre in addition to acting, dance, and singing facilities. This building uses a geothermal loop for heating and cooling as part of the school's commitment to sustainable energy.[5][6] A new dining hall and student services centre was completed in February, 2010. This new facility has been designed to meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards. Practices have also been taught to the students in order to assist the faculty in consuming less water and electricity.

Rowing
Brentwood College has been continuing to gain a sound reputation in the rowing world.[7] Brentwood College graduates include 2008 Beijing Olympic medalists Scott Frandsen (Class of 1998), Dave Calder (Class of 1996) in the Men's Heavyweight 2- event, and Malcolm Howard (Class of 2001) in the Men's Heavyweight 8+ event.
Brentwood has hosted its own regatta annually since the early 1970s, inviting high schools and junior clubs across Canada and the United States to participate in a 1,500 metre sprint. The regatta is held every year in April for three days. The Brentwood regatta is the largest single school hosted athletic event in North America, attracting over 1,700 athletes and 250 coaches in 2015.[8]

Please change the initial descriptor: 
FROM: "Brentwood College School is a co-educational boarding school that focuses on preparing students for the challenges of post-secondary education.[4] Brentwood is located on Vancouver Island in Mill Bay, British Columbia, Canada."
TO: "Brentwood College School provides a modern, West Coast learning experience for globally minded students who embrace the values of grit and joy.
Brentwood is a progressive, co-educational boarding school for Grades 9 to 12 located on a spectacular oceanfront campus on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. At Brentwood, student choice is a unique part of our culture and a deciding factor in who attends the School. It’s why this place is so special. When students truly choose to be here, and they’re surrounded by a family of like-minded friends and supporters, they can be anything. This philosophy creates a warm, friendly, and passionate community of students from over 40 countries around the world who gain the independence and skills necessary to succeed in the post-secondary world. 
Since 1923, Brentwood Staff and Faculty have worked diligently to establish a modern, transformative place of learning and leadership, mirroring the educational experience of a small college rather than a traditional boarding school. Prospective students are drawn to the school’s innovative tripartite approach to academics, arts, and athletics; as well as the nurturing boarding environment and strong university preparatory programs. The unique tripartite scheduling creates unrivaled opportunities for student discovery and growth. Not only is Brentwood a remarkable place to make lifelong friends while gaining a world-class education, Brentwood truly is where students choose to be.
Brentwood is located on Vancouver Island in Mill Bay, British Columbia, Canada."
Please add an extra heading between #3 Curriculum and #4 Extracurricular Activities
NEW HEADING TITLE: "About Boarding"
Please add the following content under the heading "About Boarding": "Boarding life is at the very core of the Brentwood experience; Brentwood is not simply a school with boarding facilities. 86% of the students and 60% of the teachers live on campus, ensuring a warm and rich residential life.
The philosophy is that the residential experience is integral to the success of the students. The boarding program helps each student develop self-discipline, maturity, independence, time management, and leadership skills while surrounded by caring friends and mentors. A nurturing school culture is created and significant time, energy, and resources are invested into the residential program: the Boarding Life Initiative.
BRENTWOOD BOARDING HOUSES
All of the eight boarding houses are situated to provide easy access to the arts, sports, and academic facilities. The houses are also grouped in close proximity to each other, allowing students the opportunity to socialize with friends and siblings. Each of these buildings has been newly renovated during the past five years.
There are four boarding houses for girls and four boarding houses for boys. Houseparents and assistant houseparents occupy adjoining suites in each of the houses with their families and pets.
GIRLS HOUSES:
ALEXANDRA
MACKENZIE
ALLARD
HOPE'''
BOYS HOUSES:
PRIVETT
ELLIS
