Page edits for Brentwood Academy[edit]

Hi there. The opening of this article and most of the existing content appears to be one-sided and doesn't tell the whole story of the schools history. I'd like to add some additional context to the history of Brentwood Academy, something like:

Founded in 1969, Brentwood Academy is a top-rated, Christian private school in Brentwood, Tennessee with the objective of providing Christ-centered education to young people through individualized instruction. The charter of Brentwood Academy was signed on November 20, 1969 after ten acres of land on Granny White Pike was gifted by Tom P. Kennedy, JR.

A handful of classrooms, a science laboratory, boys’ and girls’ dressing rooms, administrative offices, and a commons area made up the first building which was completed in August, 1970. Classes began in September of 1970 and the first class of students selected the eagle mascot and school colors of red, white, and blue school.

The school currently has 710 students enrolled, with an average tuition of approximately $29,000. Students in grades 6-12 experience a seven to one student-teacher ratio and 99% of all graduates go on to a four year college or university.

Minority enrollment makes up 18.5% percent of Brentwood Academy’s student population and the following is published as the school’s diversity statement:

We believe that all persons are created in the image of God and have immeasurable worth in His eyes. We are committed to cultivating mutual respect, celebrating God-given differences, and building up the body according to the truths of scripture. In the fulfillment of our Mission, we believe and teach that we are a diverse and united community that values each other uniquely. We are preparing students to engage the world with compassion, awareness, and sensitivity.

Can someone help me understand how to best edit or insert this information?

In your case, start by reading WP:UPE and WP:COI. Start by disclosing your relationship with your client (Heres a diff for other editors...[1]). Then continue by finding Reliable sources. Avoid primary sources, such as the school website or other materials published by the school. Wikipedia must be based on sources, not original research, experience, or opinions. Put the changes in your own words, do not cut-and-paste or it will be a copyright violation. I'd also recommend reading Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not as well. Hope this helps!

Thank you! I'll review the linked content you suggested. SirTenChanges (talk) 15:41, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
